Broken Packages, cannot reinstall LAMP

Asked by mundo llopis

I cannot install Apache2, mysql or php5. I must have deleted the wrong file(s) in the process of removing stray apache 2 directories. I tried running -f install (see below). Now when I try to reinstall the LAMP components I receive a message similar to the following.

:sudo apt-get install apache2

Can you try to remove all packages related to Apache? Then check if you have a /etc/apache2 folder. If you still have one, delete it. Once you have deleted it, try to reinstall.

Can you help with this problem?
