Hmm, amazingly this bug turned out to be a flaw in the ordering code, tsk.
It was ignoring unpacked packages when sequencing the depends of essential
packages which leads to that internal error. Tricky little one line fix
now in CVS.
I assume Mark that you were also resuming an aborted installation and APT
gave a message like:
19 packages not fully installed or removed.
Which is a condition for this bug, one of the packages in that group must
also be essential/immediate-configure.
