Answer 1

I have seen these kind of errors when other things have been installed but the machine not rebooted. I suggest you try:

1) reboot 2) sudo apt-get update 3) sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ 4) sudo apt-get install phpadmin

you are using 12.04. The third step may not work - I forget when they brought in the caret syntax. If it doesn't work install tasksel and use that to install the lamp server.
