Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-1
Severity: important
While removing the 2.6.18-1 kernel i got the following error:
carter:/carter/incoming# dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
(Reading database ... 30495 files and directories currently installed.)

It happened after installing, in this order:
linux-image-2.6.18-1-xen-amd64
xen-hypervisor-3.0.2-1-amd64 xen-linux-system-2.6.18-1-xen-amd64
linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
and then removing linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
I had to purge them all and reinstall them to get them working.
Also, grub is installed, and lilo is mentioned !!

Description:
kernel-package - A utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages.

Changes:
kernel-package (12.001) experimental; urgency=low
.
* This is a major change from the version shipped in Lenny.
* [123d487]: Get rid of the facility to patch kernel sources
.
The patch the kernel facility was adding complexity, and failing to
provide the flexibility required for a generic patching facility. It
has been removed, users need to patch the sources _before_ calling
make-kpkg.
* [ce61f77]: Remove special case code for official kernels
Allows for minimal recompiles after minor changes t the kernel; and we
can now recreate ./debian cheaply, so version mismatches are
mitigated.
* [7cc98b0]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the header package
* [ff0f1eb]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the doc package
* [f32d2ba]: Modified the maintainer scripts for the source package
.
These patches extends the package maintainer scripts to all four
actions, and creates the directories that the hook scripts can be
dropped in for site configuration of the actions that the package
takes.
.
The link manipulation that the header packages used to do in the
postinst has been removed, and is now provided as an example
script.
* [cdcd478]: Image postinst no longer runs a boot loader
Note that this was already the case for grub, one of the more popular
boot loaders. This allows the image package to be more flexible, since the
end user is no longer restricted to the actions encoded in the image
package. This is a fairly large change.
Bug fix: "mentions of grub on ia64", thanks to dann frazier. This was
a pretty minor bug, but is obsoletre since we no longer run boot
loaders, and thus have no need t warn people os a possible mismatch
with local policy. (Closes: #515138).
* [f8bc553]: The postinst no longer manipulates symlinks
.
Any symbolic link manipulation must now be done with hook scripts in
/etc/kernel/*.d directories (modern bootloaders don't need the links
anyway). Eample hook script demonstrate how a more flexible local
policy for symlinks can be easily put ihnto place, replacing the
fairly rigid policy previously implemented.
* [84364f0]: The image postinst no longer runs the initrd command
The postinst now just conveys to the hook scripts whether
this particular image was configured for an initial ram image or
not, using the environment variable INITRD. There are example
scripts provided that will perform the task. These scripts will work
for official kernel images as well.
Bug fix: "postrm script leaves stale files in
/var/lib/initramfs-tools/", thanks to Jan Muszynski. The proposed fix
was not good, since it would require kernel-package to muck around
with internal files for initramfs tools. This way, the user may add an
postrm.d script that uses the accepted interface to clean up.
(Closes: #511004).
Bug fix: "make-kpkg should use update-initramfs when
", thanks to
Arthur Marsh. Again, since the kernel does not call any initramfs
creators, be design, this bug is obsolete.
(Closes: #518107).
Bug fix: "Uses deprecated mkinitramfs-kpkg", thanks to Matt
Kraai. Yup. the functionality was deprecated with no coordination with
k-p. So now we don't call it at all. (Closes: #517345)
* [ecb2bd3]: make-kpkg removes and re-creates ./debian on every invocation
Bug fix: "Normal make functionality seems broken", thanks to David
Baron. Actually, normal make functionality is not to recreate targets
until there is need, and thus the stamp files are all that needed to
be removed. However, until now, we could not regenerate
./debian/changelog, so the support for minor changes without running a
clean was not feasible. (Closes:
#522728).
* [79b31b4]: Add a missing endif This is a typo fix
Bug fix: "make-kpkg fails with 2.6.29 on sparc", thanks to Max Berger
(Closes:
#521031).
* [3b1f6d9]: Problems building modules using cross-compiling option
Applied patch provided by Jose Calhariz.
Bug fix: "Problems building modules using cross-compiling option
--cross-compile=-", thanks to Jose Calhariz (Closes:
#520356).
* [debiandir:53af1ee]: Give up and depend on build-essential
This will prevent at least some surprises when people try to use
kernel-package.
Bug fix: "Needs to depend on libc6-dev", thanks to Christopher Carr
(Closes:
#515746).
* [debiandir:7be8542]: Updated newsworthy changes since last release.
