YOW! I bet you rolled your own apache rather than installing one from a
deb package and this is apt's way of telling you that it wants something
that provides an httpd: by trying to install all of 'em. If this is the
case, have a look at the equivs package. It allows you to install a fake
package which can meet other packages' dependencies.
BTW, I installed dhelp from potato, and it also provides an info browser
function. It still needs an httpd, though.
