serverfault.com › questions › 183779Try apt-get remove apache2-utils. In Debian 5, Apache is split into multiple packages: apache2. apache2-mpm-prefork (or apache2-mpm-worker or apache2-mpm-event) apache2.2-common. apache2-utils. There are interdependencies: (1) depends on (2), which depends on (3), which depends on (4). Therefore, removing (4) causes all of them to be removed.
