I screwed it up (again !)

The default install on my Debian-like box was a bit messed up.

So I uninstalled it using apt-get remove apache2 etc etc

I also deleted every apache sounding directory on the box

NOW when I try and install it fresh I get

root@knoppix:~# apt-get install apache2

apache2-mpm-worker

I tried apt-get remove apache2.2-common and then apt-get install
apache2.2-common to no avail.

hinting how to cure your problem, as 'purge' is an option to apt-get
Just 'man apt-get' for details

no it isnt

It looks like you've deleted /etc/apache2/mods-available/cgid.load, so
mod_cgid cannot be enabled

cant i just get a copy of cgid.load from somewhere ?

There should not be a file [ever], just (sym)links will do.

This folders contence may appear after [re]installing one of the
apache-mpm-* ,
apache2.2-common is just the invisable part of the show.

On Debian rpm is not the preferred tool to install a package.
