I'm not sure I can understand what's going on from your report. It might help to see the output from apt-get upgrade. (Best to do apt-get update first, but don't bother to post that.) AFAIK it's unusual for an ordinary package like libuuid-perl to care particularly what kernel it is running under. > The system rebooted in its current condition, with the deaklock still > there.

Try dpkg -L linux-base Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
