This is the looping bug in the base-config package. The way I've been
getting around it is as follows:
- switch to 2nd console
- login as root
- 'mv /etc/inittab.real /etc/inittab'
- 'reboot"
- manually add entries to /etc/apt/source.list for testing and unstable
- create a file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10default containing
- APT::Default-Release "testing";
- 'dselect update'
- 'apt-get install base-config/unstable'
- 'base-config' (it won't loop this time)
