After a fresh "stable" install, after adding "unstable" lines to /etc/apt/sources.list, and performing the following sequence:
dselect update dselect select (immediatetly Q[uit]) dselect install I get the following: E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package libpam-modules 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. There are posts on this error message going back at least three years. Any advice on how to deal with it, understand it, or prevent it? Thanks, bkm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
