Hmm...

Any logs about? /var/log/syslog? /var/log/messages?
are you able to "apt" another server? Is your apt installation fine or is
any file missing?
Try to fetch the apt....deb, purge your existing apt ("dpkg --force-depends
--purge apt), and reinstall it, to assure no file´s missing and try again.
