debian unstable e2fsprog depends loop
I run debian unstable on my servers. I was trying to upgrade some of the packages, when I encountered the following 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
Following the solution from Nick’s Personal Blog the following worked w/o any accidental snags.
apt-get - o APT::Force-LoopBreak=yes install e2fsprogs

You are hilarious. I can’t believe you found that quote… I stand corrected; Google does not fail.

Other solution is to set APT source back to STABLE and then ‘apt-get install e2fsprogs’. After it you can write back APT sources to TESTING, and do an ‘apt-get install e2fsprogs’ again.
