Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration No packages on hold. Nothing suspicious that I could see.
I'm currently running a 2.1 debian system, or mostly 2.1. Kernel at 2.0.36. Here are the messages from the command that was executing: bash-2.01# apt-get --fix-broken --show-upgraded dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Need to get 0B/49.8MB of archives. After unpacking 43.3MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20000814)' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration Note that up until the error occurred, I was seeing a percent number increment, which didn't show up here 'cause it was overwriting itself. It was at 85% when it quit. Does anyone have any ideas? I searched the archives, but didn't see anything. Thanks, Jim. -- To see my .signature file, go to http://reality.sgi.com/jwl/signature/
