Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-libc-dev

At first, aptitude showed me 4 blocked updates, related to kernel version 2.6.28.11.15

I tried to install using aptitude safe-upgrade. It ended with errors and did not install linux headers. fglx could not recompile and when I restarted graphics would not run properly (definitely will not run)

So I removed everything related to 2.6.28-13 and reported the bug.

Hi Leann,

isn't an issue anymore and I forgot posting what happened. After deleting kernel 2.6.28-13 the update manager kept showing a blocked update. The update was already installed on my system, so I tried deleting the package and gave me no other packages involved in the removal. I proceeded with the deletion and now update manager works as used to.

But, there is always one, linux kernel 2.6.28-13 never showed again as a possible update and is the only linux-generic package I have as possible listed option in KPackageIt, and is not installed.
