Upgrading issues for Debian GNU/Hurd
When upgrading an old kvm image (what to do?):
dpkg: considering deconfiguration of hurd, which would be broken by
installation of libc0.3:hurd-i386 ...
dpkg: no, hurd is essential, will not deconfigure
it in order to enable installation of libc0.3:hurd-i386.
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc0.3_2.13-39
+hurd.3_hurd-i386.deb (--unpack):
installing libc0.3:hurd-i386 would break existing software
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while
processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc0.3_2.13-39+hurd.3_hurd-i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
looks like the apt database is destroyed...
