There are a couple of things that you might do. The easiest
course is:
dpkg --info apache_1.1.3-6.deb This will tell you what dependencies the
package requires along with version
required
of some packages.
Then check what versions of the required dependant packages that you
have with:
dpkg -s packagename
If you have the required packages along with the proper version numbers,
then
you might want to look at the install script in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
This will
tell you where possibly the error is hanging. If there is a problem
with the
install script, fill out a bug report along with your fix.
Have a good day :-)
