I was trying to do an apt-get dist-upgrade but I get the following message and I am actually getting this on several systems.
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.
-bash: E:: command not found
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
~# E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
What is the best way to proceed I have seen some people have been doing the following:
"/etc/apt/apt.conf" and putting in it the line:
APT::Force-LoopBreak "true";
