^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The error I got:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade:
[ ... ]
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential

libpam-modules 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 libpam-modules
