Hmm, how about try to update your adhoc command

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt install apache2

Solution 2:[2]

The problem is that Ubuntu does not have httpd as a package name, which is explained in the following error message:failed: E: Package 'httpd' has no installation candidate

The Red Hat distribution family (RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora) call it httpd that because technically that's the upstream project name, the Debian distribution family (of which Ubuntu is a descendant) is called apache2.
