It looks like apache and apache-common are not installed automatically.
Maybe aptitude remembers a previous request you made (even if it was by
accident). Try to run "aptitude keep-all" and check again with the above
command.

If you want to upgrade to Etch then you will have to do "dist-upgrade"
eventually. Read the release notes and follow all the steps, otherwise
there may be trouble. Also note that there is a section dealing
specifically with apache (section 5.6).
I repeat: DO NOT just change sources.list and run "aptitude
dist-upgrade" without reading the release notes.
