If you proceed with the dpkg upgrade with these packages in this state
you will LOSE ANY CONFIGURATION CHANGES that have been made to their
configuration files.  I recommend that you back out of the upgrade
now (see below) and then configure each of these packages using:
  dpkg --configure --force-hold <package>

If you do this and it fails for some packages they are broken anyway, in
which case you probably don't have that much to lose by going ahead
with the upgrade.

Type \"yes\" to confirm that you really want to do the upgrade in
spite of my warning above; if you give any other response we'll back
off the upgrade to give you a chance to fix things.

Continue with upgrade despite probable loss of config data ? "

configuration information.

If you say \"no\" to the question below we'll back off the upgrade now,
and you can then do it later using:
  dpkg --install dpkg-0.93.51.deb

If you're not sure what to do, say \"no\", and then run that command
(with the appropriate dpkg-*.deb filename) from a root shell prompt.

IMPORTANT - if you are upgrading this package from within dselect you

The dselect frontend has been split into a separate \`dselect' package,
which has not yet been unpacked onto your system.  Continuing the upgrade
will mean that dselect will temporarily be removed from your system, if
this happens within dselect the upgrade will fail.

Type \"yes\" to confirm that you really want to do the upgrade in
spite of my warning above (because you're not running dselect, for
example); if you give any other response we'll back off the upgrade to
give you a change to install the dselect package first.
