e2fsprogs problem

[kangja <kangja@singnet.com.sg>]

i use 'testing' but occasionally installed packages fr sid or unstable.
now when i do 'apt-get install, i have 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

setting the option as suggested in the msg did not work either.

any suggestion?
