Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Trying to upgrade e2fsprogs from version 1.35-6 to version 1.38-2 failed with a 'Pre-Depends / Conflicts' error and a suggestion that enabling APT::Force-LoopBreak might work. According to man apt.conf(5):
Force-LoopBreak
Never Enable this option unless you -really- know what you are doing. It per-
mits APT to temporarily remove an essential package to break a Conflicts/Con-
flicts or Conflicts/Pre-Depend loop between two essential packages. SUCH A
LOOP SHOULD NEVER EXIST AND IS A GRAVE BUG. This option will work if the
essential packages are not tar, gzip, libc, dpkg, bash or anything that those
packages depend on.
I therefore report this 'GRAVE BUG' :).
I subsequently enabled Force-LoopBreak and the upgrade proceeded smoothly. I posted to d-u@l.d.o and another user reported the identical experience with his e2fsprogs upgrade.

This bug does not occur when upgrading from sarge. The version of e2fsprogs
shipped with sarge is 1.37-2sarge1, not 1.35-6. Upgrading to etch directly
=66rom pre-releases of sarge is not supported; you should upgrade to a clean
version of sarge before upgrading to testing again.

This is definitely not recommended.
