    Previously operating system was
    OS version is Debian GNU/Linux 8.11 (jessie)
    What OS do you have now? How have you installed that OS?
    It is strange that installing Apache2 would fail. Please tell how you installed the OS and how you then proceeded. At what point in the process does this failing to install Apache occur?

    And why do you compile apache now? None of the ISPConfig tutorials tell you to do that and I think it's a really bad decision to compile it, you make your system unmanageable right from the beginning. Ans as @Taleman mentions, apache does not tend to fail to install, so I wonder what you did and which OS you actually used.

    Oh man .... no comment. Format the server and start from a clean new install.

    And do not use an ancient OS, use a recent one, Debian 10 and if not available, Debian 9 or Ubuntu 18.04. Debian 8 is really really old.

    There is one file by name status , It its here
    Code:
    /var/lib/dpkg
    I just removed the apache2 modules mentioned in it, particularly those which were throwing errors.
    It all started there :(
