The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

suggests maybe you need to run "aptitude update" to get your packages
in sync. http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=apache2-mpm-
prefork
says you should be getting 2.2.16-6+squeeze6.
Thank you so much Dan, I should have found that error on my own.
So I ran...
aptitude remove apache2
aptitude remove apache2-mpm-prefork
aptitude remove libapache2-mod-perl2
aptitude remove libapache2-reload-perl
aptitude update
aptitude install apache2
aptitude install apache2-mpm-prefork
aptitude install libapache2-mod-perl2
aptitude install libapache2-reload-perl
Then I believe I got an error that was related to an Apache Perl
module when I then tried to restart Apache, sadly my finger slipped
and I closed the terminal window that had the error. I have a back
copy up of the broken VM that I use to re-try your suggestions again
later today or Monday morning.
Thanks again for your help, I had seen this error during previous
installations, and I now have a better idea how to spot the errors and
how to try to fix them.
Have a good weekend,
Yamil
