It does the same thing with perl if the perl module isn't working. It's probably because it also installed php and mod_php again (with apache2), so the apache1 version of them is gone. You may as well do the full update to apache2 while you're at it, because it's going to keep trying to install itself with every update anyway, I bet. I have the opposite problem - apache1 keeps wanting to install, despite the fact that I've had apache2 installed and operating for years! gah...
