Cannot install Apache. Missing Dependencies that will not install

Question

I am trying to install LAMP on my new server. The problem is that I keep getting a error. Here is what it is:

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 information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2-bin : Depends: libapr1 (>= 1.5.0) but it is not installable
               Depends: libaprutil1 (>= 1.5.0) but it is not installable
               Depends: libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 but it is not installable or

 php5-common : Depends: php5-json but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.'

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this. I already attempted to grep to find broken packages, however, it does not show anything. This is a completely stock install.

Thanks.

Have you tried installing them seperately? Like this: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server and then also sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin sudo apt-get update

it might be your sources.list file.

run this command in terminal, this will delete sources.list

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list

Then run this command:

sudo software-properties-gtk

select all the boxes like so:

Then click on close. Then this window will pop up click on reload.

Then try to install lamp-server

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
