Well, the problem is fairly obvious - you are trying to remove
apache2, which you don't have installed, so it has nothing to remove.
You do, however, have apache installed, and it is not configured, so
it is giving you an error everytime you run an install or upgrade.
The problem here is that there is no /usr/share/apache/postinst.common
on your system (as to why I leave up to you). If you don't need
apache (1.3) then remove apache.

apache2 can be compiled to run in several ways, so debian provides
packages for each.
Just choose one (and you might want to at least "apt-cache show
<packagename" on them all to see what the differences are.
