Looks like you have multiple packages for three seperate kernels orphaned. Were these packages installed by apt-get using repositories in the /etc/apt/sources/lst file, or installed otherwise?

 

What kernel are you using right now...what does uname -r show?

 

You ned to get rid of these orphaned files and start over, usng the package for your specific kernel and architecture.

 

A good thread on apt-get and removing packages is located here.

and while im at it someone know where i could get a link to list all the apt-get commands

 

and last not but least the official debian unstable and testing repositories
