Hi, I installed the latest linux-libre kernel per the instructions here:
http://jxself.org/linux-libre/
I got a notification that there was an update for it, and when attempting to
install the update via the update manager, it first said (recalling from
memory...) something along the lines of "cancel because it's already
installed?". There was some sort of check box and separate screen within the
update manager, I think it was titled debconf.
Anyway, I said sure, that makes sense, ignore it if I already have it. But
now the update manager keeps telling me the kernel can be updated, but when I
say install updates, it errors out. Here are the error details:
"installArchives() failed: Preconfiguring packages ...

Ok, aborting, since modules for this image already exist.

Any ideas? I hate having updates sitting in the update manager...
