The same problem.

I think the problem could be related to the Nvidia proprietary drivers (for CUDA) on my system.

I've got a NVIDIA 8800GTX.
Intel core2 duo E8500 3.16Ghz
amd64 version

[Eginardo (capitani2004-prova)]

I try

aptitude reinstall linux-headers-2.6.27-11

and the first error is

run-parts: /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/nvidia-common exited with return code 1

The full output is in attachment.

Hi Dantix,

Since you are the original bug reporter, I'm going to go ahead and close this bug. For anyone else following this bug, you'll notice the following error:

debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
