make sure apt is right up to date: use dpkg to install that and then
try again.  If you still have problems, they may need to be reported
as bugs in apt.
Apt is brand new, but is I think just choking on a dependency problem, left-over from an libc5->libc6 upgrade.

I took a new CDrom (2.1) and did re-deselect, which did a lot of upgrades to various stuff.

The end result is that everything seems OK, except a remaining dependency problem, based on Samba, but it won't remove, and it depends on libpam-util, and thus I cannot remove libpam-util (which is not configured), and which is the reported error.

running dpkg --pending --remove ...
(Reading database ... 18478 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing samba ...
dpkg: error processing samba (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libpam0:
 samba depends on libpam0 (>= 0.56-1).
dpkg: error processing libpam0 (--remove):
 dependency problems - not removing
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libpam-util:
 libpam0 depends on libpam-util (>= 0.56-2).
dpkg: error processing libpam-util (--remove):
 dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
 samba
 libpam0

dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue.

Is this stuff supposed to be easy?  :-)

Thanks,
Gregory
