This morning I tried to update a wheezy recently upgraded from squeeze.
It didn't work and I am stuck.
# aptitude update
# aptitude
g
u
These packages could be upgraded, but they have been kept in their
current state to avoid breaking dependencies.
q
b (just beeps)
There were some error messages about lilo
# dpkg -l lilo
iF lilo 1:23.2-4 amd64
# aptitude
/lilo
C lilo 1:23.2-4 1:23.2-4
# dpkg-reconfigure lilo
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: lilo is broken or not fully installed
# aptitude install debsums
debsums libfile-fnmatch-perl{a}
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
lilo
...
Errors were encountered while processing:
lilo
# debsums lilo
debsums: package lilo is not installed
# aptitude reinstall lilo
The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
lilo
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 50
not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for lilo:amd64
# apt-get --reinstall install lilo

1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for lilo:amd64
After this I updated another computer with a less recently upgraded
wheezy using the same sources.list . It completed smoothly.
So I am stuck. It did allow installation of debsums from the aptitude
command line, but interactive aptitude won't do anything. Any ideas?
