Seems that the only way to succeed at upgrading these packages is to add the following line to /etc/apt/apt.conf

APT::Immediate-Configure "false";

Two observations:

Seems that the logic for this APT option was recently reverted, if Google results for "immediate-configure" is any indication. Could it be that the "fix" actually broke the default behavior?

The fact remains that cyrus-sasl2 is a very rare case that triggers this error in apt-get. It needs to be fixed.
