I would like to install apache2-mpm-worker on Ubuntu 16.04, but it looks that this package is not avalaible for ubuntu 16.04.
Do you have somebody any information why this important package is missing in xenial repository?

There is no apache2-mpm-worker package because the mpm_worker module is included by default when you install Apache on 16.04. It is contained in the apache2-bin package that is a dependency of apache2:

> dpkg -L apache2-bin | grep mpm
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_event.so
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_mpm_worker.so

mpm_event is enabled by default, so to enable mpm_worker:

sudo a2dismod mpm_event
sudo a2enmod mpm_worker
sudo service apache2 restart
