Well, it never rains but it pours. After doing `sudo apt-get purge apache2': po...@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install apache2 Reading package lists...

No apache MPM package installed Now, the Apache installation is completely broken and will not install properly. That's the problem with these package systems: no error messages to indicate what might have gone wrong and nontrivial to figure it out. We'll see what they say over in ubuntu forums.
