libpam-modules dependency loop stable-->unstable
After a fresh "stable" install, after adding "unstable" lines to
/etc/apt/sources.list, and performing the following sequence:
dselect update
dselect select (immediatetly Q[uit])
dselect install
I get the following:
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package 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.
There are posts on this error message going back at least three years.
Any advice on how to deal with it, understand it, or prevent it?
Thanks,
bkm
