For some reason (repository skew, most likely) libdb4.2-dev still needs
4.2.52-18 of libdb4.2, while that package has already been upgraded to
4.2.52-19.

Solution is *probably* to apt-get update (clearing any intermediate
apt-proxys you may have lying in the way) and cross your fingers it's fixed. Other solutions include a downgrade of libdb4.2 to -18 (but if the binary
package has gone bye-byes, you're stuffed) or hunting down libdb4.2-dev
4.2.52-19 by hand from a mirror and dpkg -i'ing it into oblivion.

I found a libdb4.2.52-18 on a pool directory on one of the debian mirrors and did a dpkg -i and it installed fine. Just a warning that I was downgrading.
Then an apt-get install apache-dev worked perfectly and pulled in the 
libdb4.2-dev
