Hi Nayyar,
you want to remove 'apache2', great! But it is important to read what is
actually happening, not just what you expect. On line #3 from above, it
says 'Package apache2 is not installed, so not removed'.
After that, apt is trying to fix a problem it found with apache. Apache
is not fully configured. Apt is trying to fix this and can not.

Again, you must read the messages. If there is a word you dont
understand, just ask. In this case, apt says that 'apache2' is a
'virtual package'. This is when more than one package that provided apache2
functionality. You therefore must choose the actual package that
you want to install.
Have fun learning Debian!
