Bug#49062: Apt Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration

[Mark Tearle <mtearle@tartarus.uwa.edu.au>]

Package: Apt
Version: 0.3.13
Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/base/apt_0.3.13.deb

Hi, I am using a relatively standard potato install
Linux phregia 2.0.34 #2 Thu Jul 9 10:57:48 EST 1998 i586 unknown

Hit the same bug as bug report 48884

Error message is generated in two places in apt-pkg/packagemanger.cc,
determined it was the first one

   // Check if it is already unpacked
   if (Pkg.State() == pkgCache::PkgIterator::NeedsConfigure &&
       Cache[Pkg].Keep() == true)
   {
      List->Flag(Pkg,pkgOrderList::UnPacked,pkgOrderList::States);
      if (List->IsFlag(Pkg,pkgOrderList::Immediate) == true)
         if (SmartConfigure(Pkg) == false)
            return _error->Error("womble Internal Error, Could not perform immed
iate configuraton on %s", Pkg.Name());
      return true;
   }

(added womble & Pkg.Name )

My machine was failing on a dependency related to libpam0g  which depends
on libpam-runtime, fixed that, apt works again, yay!

Hope this helps.

Yours
Mark
