Ok let's try another approach... apt-get install apache-common
this should bring apache-common to the latest version. Add set -x to /usr/share/apache/postinst.common apt-get install apache (to trigger again it's postinst script, be aware that it will produce quite a lot of output and we need to see all of it). I really can't see where the problem is...
