danleff 0 Posted October 19, 2004 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.
