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 =<val>.
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
Ambiguous use of package => resolved to "package" => at
/usr/sbin/suidregister line 109.
