Hi, I've got the same issue with "E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs" on a "testing" PC which hadn't been updated ever since about 2004-03-08 (due to fatal system failure; finally got it up and running again yesterday, YAY!!).
A simple update and dist-upgrade of "testing" caused that abort error (with *many* packages, although not all, since I could successfully tell it to upgrade some single packages without that error occurring).
