Then just remove it and reinstall it. If it ain't configured, you won't
lose anything.
If you're worried about losing dependent packages by removing the apache
package, install apache-perl first (which I use instead of the vanilla
apache module and the separate mod_perl package), that way the apache
depdencies will be met and you can remove the packages giving you trouble.
If you're worried about losing the apache configuration, just backup
/etc/apache* to someplace else.
It's a kludge, but it's the easiest way I can see to do it without digging
in with my own hands or giving extremely detailed directions.
(I guess that's probably the motivation behind the retry/reboot/reinstall
method of MS Winders support -- except for the fact that many things
simply cannot be resolved without at least rebooting.)
Anyway, I would try dumping those packages and then installing them.
J.
