Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
An apt-get dselect-upgrade, when it encounters an error on a package, such
as a package for which dpkg refuses unpack because it overlaps another
package, then at some point later (maybe at the end of the bunch of unpacks
that contained the error) apt-get exits, leaving many packages unconfigured.
Manually running "dpkg --configure -a" allows all of them to be configured,
and rerunning apt-get (with -f because of the error) allowed the bunch of
remaining packages to install at last.
