Hey folks,
Sorry to ask for support on this list, but I just tried to upgrade to
oneiric, and my computer is in a sorry state.  python-minimal has a
dependency loop problem, and dpkg is complaining more loudly than I'm
used to.

Basically, all the various upgrade commands I have tried result in this:

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package 
python-minimal 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 python-minimal



This is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/986374
A fix is being verified and a new version of the package will be 
available very soon.



Actually, as I type this email, I made some progress:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-all python-minimal
sudo apt-get install -f
update-manager  partial upgrade.


Anyway, I got a bit nervous there, since I wasn't sure how much apt
and dpkg depended on python to do their work (ie, removing python
might remove my ability to manipulate packages).  No harm no foul at
this point.

Since I wrote this email, I'm sending it.  For those interested
parties, instead of a bug report, treat this like a transient
notification just like you get in the upper right.

Thanks, bye,
Dan

 I'm basically despairing about this since every time I touch OpenSSL to
 try to fix one set of bugs it appears to break something else (and I
 should add that I haven't been getting creative, and very much want
 *not* to get creative, I've just been applying fixes from upstream).
 Since I'm about to be diving head-first into release chaos, I strongly
 encourage anyone who can to try to figure out a fix that doesn't cause
 connection to the other sites we just fixed to regress!

I'm pretty sure another person I work with filed it,
but precise had a recent fairly nasty problem. It
was creating a leaving behind a dangling /etc/nologin
link for some reason; and chkrootkit was claiming
that /sbin/init had 'suckit'. He did another Precise
install new and saw the same thing. Really scared the
hell out of us for awhile as it was a server that
was in use although not critical services.
