Fellow uber-debianers,
I have a problem with e2fsprogs. (Trying to install uni2ascii for example,
which depends on e2fsprogs)
My environment: Debian gnu/linux testing/unstable, Kernel version 2.4.27(home
brewed), libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22, sysvinit 2.84-2woody1
my sources.list
=========
<snip>
#security
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
# the main Debian packages.
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
# the non-US Debian packages.
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
#Blackdown Java
deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian/ sarge non-free

I have checked the earlier posts to this forum and it seems like this is
more of a problem of mixing distributions than anything to do with the
package. I have always used testing/unstable without any major difficulties
and recently with the release of SARGE I tweaked the sources.list to point
to the non-us "stable" distribution and forgot about it, which might have
caused the problem. All my work resides on this system and I am "short of
time". So without harming my environment, is there a way around this problem
- i.e; to fix --->

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

Any advice/suggestions welcome.
Thanks in advance,
