[Bug 989164] Re: precise headless server upgrade failed

[Jens Langner]

Ok. now I did it the hard way by doing a

dpkg --force -r libjpeg62-dev
apt-get -f install

to force an uninstall of libjpeg62-dev via dpkg and afterwards a fix of
the dependencies. Afterwards I was able to run "do-release-upgrade"
again without seeing that "immediate configuration" error.
