I tried building a kernel 2.6.0 last week using make-kpkg. When I run dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.0_10.00.Custom_i386.deb I get the following message: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `kernel-image-2.6.0' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. 121265 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace kernel-image-2.6.0 10.00.Custom (using kernel-image-2.6.0_10.00.Custom_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement kernel-image-2.6.0 ... Segmentation fault
Ever since then, I can't run apt-get upgrade. I get the following message: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: The package kernel-image-2.6.0 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. I have tried everything. The kernel-image doesn't even show up in /var/lib/dpkg/info. I have tried reinstalling, rebuilding the kernel. Nothing seems to help. Is there any way to erase the kernel-image from dpkg's "memory"? What file can I edit to do this? I thought that /var/lib/dpkg/info was the key, but apparently its not. -- Jeff Self Dept. of Information Technology City of Newport News (757)926-3741 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
