In looking at the postinst script /var/lib/dpkg/info/libapache2-mod- security2.postinst, it appears that it is trying to enable the "security2" module, but that module does not exist in /etc/apache2/mods- available, so I don't think it will ever succeed. If you modify that script so that chunk is a no-op, it will succeed and "work", allowing installation of other packages to continue. I don't yet know if there are bad side-effects as I would expect that module to exist.
I commented out the "apache2_invoke..." line and added 'echo "Disabled stuff here"' to make bash happy. It looks like there are quite a few changes with apache2 and it's modules between 14.04 and 16.04, so this workaround may break all the things.
