E: Internal Error, Could not early remove libpam-modules
So....I guess I need to "active the APT::Force-LoopBreak"? Or something? I
tried apt-get remove libpam-modules but aborted that pretty quickly when I
saw what it was going to remove.

Heheh, I had the same feeling when I tried to remove libpam-modules
manually!
However I did get it to work by adding a line in my /etc/apt/apt.conf
******/etc/apt/apt.conf****contains 2 lines as shown******************
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://getyourownproxy.dontusemine";*** already
there previously
APT::Force-LoopBreak "true";******this line is what I added
******************************************************************
I found this out from a brief look at $man apt.conf and by following the
advice in the error from apt. It may not be the best thing, but it
worked for me. I also removed the "Loopbreak" after I was done since I
didn't want to leave options turned on which I don;t know about and
which are not turned on by default.
I am also sure someone else more knowledgeable on this list will explain
why this happened and other interesting details about this. I just found
out how to fix it :)
