I can't seem to upgrade one of the base packages. My current setup is
ii e2fslibsg 1.10-8 The EXT2 file system shared libs. ii e2fsprogsg 1.10-8 The EXT2 file system utilities. When I type "dpkg --install e2fsprogs_1.10-17.deb", I get the following: dpkg: considering removing e2fslibsg in favour of e2fsprogs ... dpkg: yes, will remove e2fslibsg in favour of e2fsprogs. dpkg: regarding e2fsprogs_1.10-17.deb containing e2fsprogs: e2fsprogsg conflicts with e2fsprogs e2fsprogs (version 1.10-17) is to be installed. dpkg: error processing e2fsprogs_1.10-17.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing e2fsprogs Errors were encountered while processing: e2fsprogs_1.10-17.deb My usual procedure is to first try to upgrade the package that won't let itself be removed. I can't find any package marked "e2fsprogsg". In cases like this, I next try to back the offending package out by first uninstalling everything that depends on it and then removing the package. This package is different because it is "essential". I don't want to "--force" this, but I don't see any other way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
