Re: HELP: apt = E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuraton ...
Same thing happened here. apt quit because some script broke (which is semi-normal). I fixed the problem, but then apt-get -y -f dselect-upgrade, which always used to work, gives that precise error. The package that broke was yiff-server, if that matters (probably doesn't). Anyone?

The 'Internal error' bit is a fixed APT bug, dpkg --configure -a will clear it, the weird dpkg output is something totally different and unrelated. Jason

The 'Internal error' bit is a fixed APT bug, dpkg --configure -a will clear it, the weird dpkg output is something totally different and unrelated. ok, and any suggestion on how to get rid of it?
