Unfortunately, as of today, it is not anymore possible to upgrade from
jessie to stretch:
# apt-get upgrade
[...]
# apt-get dist-upgrade
[...]
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package sysvinit-utils:amd64 due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove sysvinit-utils:amd64 (2)
I can reproduce this on a jessie system with very few packages
installed and this single line in sources.list:
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian stretch main
If this problem is the result of fixing this bug, I would rather keep
the bug unfixed and leave things as before.
Thanks.
