DEBIAN APT : Force Loop Break

Debian, Linux 3 Comments »
Debian Linux
E: 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.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
Method 1 ( Command Line Options ) : 


apt-get -o APT::Force-LoopBreak=yes install e2fsprogs



Method 2 ( Permanently set in apt.conf ) :


Add the following line : 

APT::Get::Force-LoopBreak "true";
in 
/etc/apt/apt.conf


 

UPDATE:
Read some discussion on LinuxQuestion Forum on this matter..
simply following solution on this page might not work out of the box.
