The kernel-image, kernel-source and kernel-package packages have a bug in the installation scripts. The prerm and preinst scripts refer to #! /bin/perl . Unfortunately, on a virgin Debian 1.1 system, there is no /bin/perl. The solution is to create a symlink from /usr/bin/perl to /bin/perl. Then you should be able to de-install and re-install the kernel packages no problem. - Jim
