I get this error when trying to upgrade kernel:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic' before installing new version

This looks like a duplicate of bug 292159 so I am marking it as such. Note that bug 292159 is now marked as Fix Released. Thanks.
