Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.35-6 * This bug is not related to e2fsprogs, e2fsprogs only shows the symptom *
I have a problem with the sarge distribution. There are two debian-install-sets: rc3 and 31r0a These names come from the install images. I install on a blank disk, defaults on all questions (except keyboard layout). Then I do a apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade This should upgrade everything to the "etch" distribution. The /etc/apt/sources.list contains: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main contrib It fails on rc3 but succeeds on 31r0a The precise error message is: E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs - just as stated in bug report #325834 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325834 Some people say, that this is because I am upgrading from Woody (previous debian release) - but this is NOT the case - I just made a clean install of Sarge, and tried to update it - resulting in the error explained above. There is no - and has never been - a Woody version on this machine. * The bug is genuine * What should I do in order to avoid this message and do a successful upgrade? With kind regards Christian Hildebrandt-Nielsen DENMARK
