I have a similar problem: I have an etch box with custom compiled kernels from kernel-package. I've installed a bunch with dpkg -i and used apt to remove them. But dpkg still shows them in the the list of packages. For example: host:~# dpkg --get-selections |grep linux-image linux-image-2.6.16-2-k7 purge linux-image-2.6.17 purge linux-image-2.6.17-2-486 purge linux-image-2.6.17-2-686 install linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7 purge linux-image-2.6.17etalon-k7 purge Is there a way to remove the packages marked "purge"?
