The simplest check could be look for /debootstrap/ directory and if it exists return a message something like "you are in debootstrap. mininum kernel required is 2.6.25 do you want continue? Y/N" If Y, skip the kernel check and install it. Another way, little bit more complex, is to compare the root inodes like udev. It's clear now. I'm working for fix this issue. Ciao.

However it leaves some questions open: Lenny, the current stable release, was shipped with version 3.6+debian-4, while 3.9.2+debian-2 is the version currently available in Debian's unstable.

As for the version in unstable: Starting with Debian Squeeze, dash is an essential package, which means, that it will be present on all systems and is not easy to remove. So, there's no bug in these version, only in mixed systems. So unless lenny's version is affected by this problem, I fear the only thing we can do is to close that bug.

Bug#586605: firmware-b43-installer: do not fail on kernel version mismatch
Hi, Fabrizio. I believe comparing root inodes is a better way, because /debootstrap/ may not exist. 2011/1/28 Fabrizio Regalli > Hi Dmitry, > > > > > > Nope, one again: installation of firmware-b43-installer will fail in a > > debootstrapped environment (NOT a host system).
