Bug Description
I performed a routine apt-get upgrade but there seems to be a dependency problem or corruption with linux-image-
This lucid server has been running for months now without a hitch until yesterday.
I update it regularly.
Now if I try to install the offending package directly I get this...
me@mypc:~$ sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/
