Premature aborts in apt again.
Package: apt
Version: 0.0.5
Hi,
This is the problem. Note that is suspended sendmail and left
the system hanging there. dpkg --configure --pending to the rescue.
I think we need to think about when aborts are
permitted. Error recovery should be pulled up higher on the list.

I still think that this is not a good place to abort. The
system needs to be more fault tolerant than this.
