OK, revised the sources list, did the update and tried again:


earth:~# apt-get install apache
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
   apache: Depends: apache-common (>= 1.3.26-0) but it is not going to 
be installed
           Depends: apache-common (< 1.3.27-0) but it is not going to be 
installed
           Depends: perl5 or
                    perl but it is not going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages


I'm beginning to think the APC CD install is just plain broken!
