Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic

Attempted to upgrade my system but could not properly.  One of the
packages linux-image-2.6.27-4 fails to configure correctly.

Expected: Upgrade to the new linux-image to configure successfully.
Actual Result: Post-install configuration attempts to run but fails with the 
following message:
