    e2fsprogs error during fresh net install [Solved]

    Just tried to do a fresh testing netinst and got the following error:
    Code:
     Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
    What the heck does that mean? I don't have gnome installed or anything yet. I just did the following
    Code:
    apt-get install xserver-common
    Something is definately hosed.

    Tried the following:
    Code:
    apt-get upgrade e2fsprogs
    and got the same error. This time it reccommends activating the "APT::Force-LoopBreak" option. For which I am told "This is often bad"

    I was trying to update Firefox (from 1.0, installed from Sarge/testing about 8 months ago), and I got the same error.

    It looks like the fix is:

    Code:
    apt-get -t stable install e2fsprogs
    However, I did not try this but simply made a new install cd from the latest snapshot. It appears this was a problem back when I made my last cd which was some months back. The new netinst cd did not have this problem.
