On both my sid and my etch machines, using both aptitude and apt-get, issuing 'install libapache2-mod-php4' automatically trys to install apache2.2-common. This should happen automagically. The point is, I think you have done something other than a simple apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4. These type of dependency problems don't just "happen". So post up your exact commands with output. also, have you apt-get updated lately? oh and, I recommend that you avoid aptitude for the moment. mixing package handlers is not a great idea. you can switch to aptitude if you like after you resolve this.
