It's being upgraded, which means it is already installed on your system.
Try 'aptitude why apache2.2-bin', maybe it will shed some light on why
it is installed.

Ya I just did that and it was installed because of gnome .... I don't remember installing gnome ... when I installed my laptop, I chose no WM nor X as I wanted to learn how to do it *the debian way* using apt-get/aptitude. I went from X to fluxbox and gnome wasn't an inbetween. I imagine some deps where installed with other packages but upon checking .... I have a full gnome install and I *know* I didn't install it, so I am left scratching my head.
