Answer 1

Alguém excluiu o usuário www-data do sistema. Você reconfigurou o Apache para usar um usuário diferente, e tudo bem, mas www-data é parte do conjunto principal de usuários do sistema que os pacotes Debian podem assumir, mesmo que você não o esteja usando. O script postinst do pacote apache2.2-common está alterando a propriedade de algum arquivo para esse usuário e assumindo que ele existe, e falhando se não existir.

Isto parece ser corrigido nos pacotes Apache no Debian 6.0. O Debian 4.0 é bem antigo. Mas a solução imediata seria recriar o usuário www-data .
