Here is the error message:
E:This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package sysvutils 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 sysvutils
I can reproduce this in a chroot.
