Try
apt-get update
apt-get -f install
to resolve dependencies (it may be there's a newer linux-serverimage
to fetch and install, that won't have the problem).
If this fails, you can install just that package, so you can can
complete the upgrade, with
dpk -i --force-depends-version
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-server-image-*dpkg
Then do an
apt-get -f install
to fix the fallout.
thanks, but <apt-get -f install> failed. One of those circular
dependency problems.
In case anyone stumbles on this thread, I ended up simply doing
#apt-get remove linux-server
#apt-get install linux-server
That was a pretty scary thing to do - remove "linux-server"??? - but it
works. Linux-server is just a housekeeping meta package, even though
it's description says that it is the kernel.
