[Y/n] This is not the error you got initially – this is APT trying to get back to a system state which isn't broken. To get into a broken state a previous APT (or dpkg) call needs to fail. The output of that call would be interesting, but in this case I can imagine what is going on: You blindly accepted the solution APT proposed which included removing a bunch of packages like the currently running kernel because of the unfinished perl transition. Removing the running kernel fails by design, but it looks like a good solution so APT will propose this as long as linux-base is not installable to recover the broken system. That is not a bug. This is how "Debian unstable" works, which in terms of APT usage means that you can just blindly say 'yes' as you can in stable. I am therefore closing this bugreport with the serious hope that you have a recent backup to restore from as this perl transition will be going on for a while and recovery could take a while otherwise I presume. (probably more broken/removed than what APT can see) Best regards David Kalnischkies
