Re: Could not early remove libpam0g

[Bill]

Thanks Shawn,

tried
computer:/# apt-get -f -o APT::Force-LoopBreak dist-upgrade

result
E: Option APT::Force-LoopBreak: Configuration item sepecification must have
an =.

so then I tried
computer:/# dpkg --force-depends -r libpam0g  --> this worked

next
computer:/# apt-get -f dist-upgrade
is this anything to worry about --> had following messages

/usr/sbin/suidregister line 109.

Bill,
Try this:
apt-get -f -o APT::Force-LoopBreak dist-upgrade
If that doesn't work, try without the -f.  If you have no luck at all, you 
may have to log in as root (i'd recommend not using su, sudo, etc.) and do 
the following first:

dpkg --force-depends -r libpam0g
The dpkg and apt packages do not depend on this library, so there should be 
no problem with removing it long enough to get your system upgraded.  Of 
course, any running services might not work very well. :)

Thanks,
Shawn
