Bug#645713: apt: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'openjdk-6-jre'
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.9+deb7u1
Followup-For: Bug #645713
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
apt-get dist-upgrade, Squeeze->Wheezy.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-debian-squeeze-to-wheezy
Note in particular the part which calls for aptitude to declare that
"No packages are scheduled to be installed, removed or upgraded",
which is exactly what it did.
* What was the outcome of this action?
win7host02:~# >>> apt-get dist-upgrade
....

win7host02:~# >>>
* What outcome did you expect instead?
In the output above I expected the line beginning with "E:" to be missing
and a lot of other lines to exist - things like packages being replaced,
configurations being bollixed, that kind of stuff.

-- System Information:
I am reporting this bug on a system that still works. Obviously the
System Information is no use to anyone because this is not the system
which has just been broken by dist-upgrade. Please feel free to ask
for more information, which I will provide as promptly as possible
(under the circumstances).
