Just how I do it:
apt-get dist-upgrade
stops with that internal error,
then I go to /var/apt/cache (or something like that -- see man apt-get)
there I do
dpkg -i libpam0g*
which gives a dependency error
after trying a lot I ended up doing
dpkg -i libpam0g* libpam-modules libdb3*
(the last -- libdb3 -- you should check in the error messages)
After that it works and you can redo a dist-upgrade
