Problem trying to upgrade Debian
 
I have just install debian, and now I will upgrade my debian from stable to unstable, so I have change stable to unstable in the sources.list, and after that I have typeing:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
But when it have downloading all the packages I got a error, the error massage are:
E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libpam0g

I have try to solve the problem with typeing:
apt-get -f -o apt::force-loopbreak=1 dist-upgrade

But it don't working :confused:

What to do?

Basically APT can't handle the dependency problem that develops here.

Look in /var/cache/apt/archives. You should have libpam0g and
libpam-modules in there. Here is the exact commands I used:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg -i libpam0g_0.76-12_i386.deb libpam-modules_0.76-12_i386.deb

Then I could dist-upgrade to my hearts content. If it complains about some other lib files, then you may have to install them also.
