Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libsasl2-2 I'm starting to think that it might be a good idea to duplicate this bug and assign it to APT as a 100 Paper Cut bug, because that error message (2) doesn't tell the user anything useful. That number (2) should be replaced with a proper explanation of what's preventing apt-get from upgrading the packages. -- Dependency cycle prevents upgrade of libsasl2-2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
