Getting an Internal Error trying to install 2.2

[jwl@dogwood.peachtree.sgi.com (Jim Lynch)]

Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration

No packages on hold.  Nothing suspicious that I could see.  

I'm currently running a 2.1 debian system, or mostly 2.1.  Kernel at 2.0.36.

Here are the messages from the command that was executing:

E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration

Note that up until the error occurred, I was seeing a percent number increment, which didn't show up here 'cause it was overwriting itself.  It was at 85% when it quit.

Does anyone have any ideas?  I searched the archives, but didn't see anything.

Thanks,
Jim.
