I cannot install anything!

[Roger Creasy <roger.mailist@gmail.com>]

I just reinstalled my Sarge system. Everytime that I try to install a package, using Kpackage, I get the following error:

E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the
essential package e2fsprogs 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.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs
RESULT=100

What is wrong?

TIA
