Bug#200858: apt-get fails when dist-upgrading to unstable
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks the whole system
During upgrade to unstable:
E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential
package sysvinit 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 sysvinit
