    I don't think your question is in the correct place. The Ubuntu forums might work or maybe http://serverfault.com/ or http://superuser.com/? Also why not just sudo apt-get install perl ? – Dan Walmsley Sep 21 '16 at 05:10
  • thanks for that. still getting error when i run sudo apt-get install perl perl : Depends: perl-base (= 5.18.2-2ubuntu1) but 5.18.2-2ubuntu1.1 is to be installed Anyway i moved this question to serverfault.com there people might be aware. – Jaccs Sep 21 '16 at 05:22
  • You could get the package from here and install it manually: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apache2 – Chankey Pathak Sep 21 '16 at 05:44
  • What are you trying to do? Why did you delete sources.list? That's likely a source of your problem – ysth Sep 21 '16 at 16:19
  • Nothing would help me... one of the solution provided by external source led me to did that. – Jaccs Sep 22 '16 at 11:48

try using sudo apt-get -f install to force the install.

You may need to go back and forth between sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get -f install to slowly get all the packages installed.

Also try cleaning the cache and configuring any packages that are not configured yet. sudo apt-get clean sudo dpkg --configure -a

Hopefully that will get you where you need to be.
