You shouldn't remove apache-ssl and apache-ssl/conf.d

They are configuration directories shipped with the package and apache-ssl
expect them to be there. On the other side you can remove all the files
inside them.

This is a consenquence of the above.

These files are created with a certain order during the installation. If
you try the second time it might cause this problem because it results to
be an upgrade and not an installation (and the postinst behave
differently).

Same as the first problem. httpd.conf has an Include for conf.d that if it
is not there fails. Either you comment it out from httpd.conf or you
create the directory.

The major issue is that you removed apache-ssl in the beginning but yes i
agree that can be improved to be more user experimentation safe.
