Package: Other
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I'm currently running Sarge.  Upon John Hasler's recommendation, I was
trying to upgrade to Etch.  In preparation for this, I did an apt-get
update, followed by an apt-get upgrade, with my sources.list pointing
to a sarge repository.  After that successfully completed, I changed
sources.list to point to an etch repository, did an apt-get update,
followed by an apt-get dist-upgrade.  The dist-upgrade failed with the
following:

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

At the time I first encountered this error, I was running a 2.2
kernel.  I have since upgraded to a 2.6 kernel.  I was trying to force
an e2fsprogs install, and got a notification of libc (I think?)
requiring a 2.6 kernel, and the e2fsprogs install aborted.

I'm about to try to upgrade to etch again.
