After gonna throug instruction located on our group web site
http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vi...-security.html I run into following problem:
First I had typed the commands:
To configure mirrors
To build update lists
Get upgrade but don't install it (this is done so if some problem comes my system won't get in any trouble)
Following command run it to following error:
Error
Quote:
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

Only use following commands if you got above error else forget it
I searched on net and no solution found, so I decided to go on myself. Only way to solve this problem was to remove e2fsprogs and reinstall it so here is what I did (do't reboot system till you have all update
:
1)
Code:
apt-get remove e2fsprogs
Confirm you wanna remove it; it will remove all stuff and automatically upgrade glibc to latest version.
2)
As soon as it returns to prompt reinstall e2fsprogs
Code:
apt-get install e2fsprogs
3)
Since e2fsprogs is so crtical package it removed update-rc.d and runleve command. Which result into following error (and you can't install any package via apt-get)
dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH.
However when you type above command it will report that update-rc.d command not found in PATH. So I just created soft link to it:
Code:
cp /bin/false /tmp
cd /tmp
ln -s false update-rc.d
export PATH=$PATH:/tmp
4)
So next task is to get install update-rc.d which is part of file-rc package.
Code:
apt-get install file-rc
Some script still reports following error:
Quote:
Bug#238546: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: line 1:
/sbin/runlevel: No such file or directory
|
Above command will fix that too...
5) Install init/telinit command removed by upgrade:
Code:
apt-get install sysvinit
6) Done. You can now reboot system safely.
