I'm trying to install colinux on my XP box (using the instructions in 
http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=buildroot+under+colinux).
I did:
colinux:/etc/apt# apt-get update

82 packages upgraded, 43 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0  not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/34.1MB of archives. After unpacking 45.0MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
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 re
ally want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option.
E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs

and got this internal error about e2fsprogs.

Anyone can help me out here?

Thanks
