You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2-suexec : Depends: apache2.2-common but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Tried to run apt-get -f install and it is also failing.here is the output.

  • you try to uninstall apache2 which includes removing apache2.2-common, but which itself is necessary for another package (apache2-suexec). So maybe try to remove that first: sudo apt remove apache2-suexec. Does that help? – pLumo May 23 '18 at 12:11
  • I guess you did some step before, otherwise, apache2 would have been removed without removing parts on which other packages depend. – pLumo May 23 '18 at 12:16
  • Related question here --> sudo dpkg --purge apache2-suexec apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common apache2 – pLumo May 23 '18 at 12:21
  • thnks for your help .yes i installed 'libapache2-mod-fastcgi' and 'apache-suexec.'after uninstalling all of them finally able to uninstall apache2. – indrajit guha May 23 '18 at 12:24
  • Did you install them with a third-party repository or manually? Please feel free to write an answer on how you managed to solve this for other people having the same question. – pLumo May 23 '18 at 12:27

As mentioned in the command i solve the issue by uninstalling libapache2-mod-fastcgi via apt-get purge libapache2-mod-fastcgi and apache2-suexec via apt-get purge apache2-suexec. finally 

apt-get purge apache2
