$ sudo apt-get install cacti
Password:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl
libnet-daemon-perl libphp-adodb libplrpc-perl librrd2 libsnmp4.2
mysql-client php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-mysql php5-snmp rrdtool snmp

I already have apache2 installed, and the above doesn't seem to say it
wants to install apache as well...  Are you using any 3rd party
repositories?  "apt-cache depends cacti " suggests to me that either
version of apache will fulfil dependencies.

Looks normal here - as I said above, I would be checking
your /etc/apt/sources.list. By the way I'm running Breezy too, so my apt
is presumably the same as yours, and my sources.list includes only main,
universe and multiverse. The only thing I can think of is that somehow the
system is reading the wrong thing from its sources.list (bogus entries
somewhere )
