I thought it might be a good idea to update firefox. So I did: apt-get update apt-get -s install mozilla-firefox
I get a rather long list of packages to be updated, installed and even removed. But also I get the message; 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 I have done a lot of googling and all the sites I have found agree that this can cause "bad things to happen" But nothing more specific or any other way to proceed. My only ext2 file system is /boot so maybe my odds are better?? But one site indicated that this message is the result of a bug in the dependencies. If that was so, maybe I could just wait until it is fixed at Debian. Does anybody understand this and can guide me?
