when attempting to update php to 5.4, i seem to have broken apt-get! everything i try now will give me the below 

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies.
     libapache2-mod-php5 : Depends: apache2-mpm-prefork (> 2.0.52) but it is not going to be installed or
                                    apache2-mpm-itk but it is not going to be installed
                           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).

running apt-get -f install will give me

You need to upgrade you kernel

First fix current packages

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then run updates and upgrades

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

After installing updates (Some may not because the new package is in the new kernel)

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You may want to reboot
