You need to resolve this dependency.

libapache2-mod-passenger : Depends on: apache2-mpm-worker (>= 2.2.9-9) but it is not going to be installed or
                                           apache2-mpm-prefork (>= 2.2.9-9) but it is not going to be installed or
                                           apache2-mpm-itk (>= 2.2.9-9) sbut it is not going to be installed or
                                           apache2-mpm-event (>= 2.2.9-9) but it is not going to be installed or

Try with this. It might work. Also after resolving these dependencies then start the installation process again.

sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-worker libapache2-mod-fcgid php5-cgi

Answer 2

I got it working by using a different repository:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/web/libapache2-mod-passenger

This one is compatible ith Apache 2.4.16
