Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

The following packages have unmet dependencies: apache2 : Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.41-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+5) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Hello @cloud474606,
Have you tried updating your system? You’ll need to
sudo apt-get update
Once it finishes, do
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then try to install Apache again. If it fails, you’ll need to go back to a state there all dependencies are satisfied:
sudo apt-get install -f
Try to remove all Apache stuff:
sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "apache*"
Reinstall now all necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get install -f
Now you can give the Apache installation a new try. If the problem persists, please provide more information.
Regards, KDSys
