You can try to fix all broken/missing packages by:

sudo apt-get install -f

Also you can try:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean

This will update your system, remove unused packages, and clean out local repository of retrieved package files.

After you do it, try installing apache again:

sudo apt-get install -y apache2

Good luck
