switch to console 2 (alt+F2), type enter to get the console, remove the libpam-modules with : dpkg --force-depends --purge libpam-modules This will break your dependency, which is expected, you can then quickly do a : apt-get -f install And let it fix it again. Then return to console 1 (alt+F1) and continue as usual. Maybe you will have to kill the process with Ctr-C or something such, and it will ask you again about re-retrieving the files. Anyway, you can restart the base instalation by running base-config or something such. Friendly, sven Luther
