2008-08-03 00:56:35 Agostino Russo wubi: statusexplanation This is because dpkg requires POSIX operations not supported by VFAT (hardlinks), and unfortunately it is unlikely to be fixed at this stage, particularly since 8.04 is an LTS. A workaround similar to the above is to remove the /boot mountpoint in /etc/fstab and unmount /boot (this basically moves /boot inside of the root filesystem), then copy over the files from /host/disks/boot to /boot and repeat each time you update boot (e.g. new kernel).

(Sorry if the message is not accurate but I translated it from italian) My fs is a vfat, ubuntu , with wubi version indicated in summary When I try to upgrade the kernel it fails with this error : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic_2.6.24-19.36_i386.deb: unable to make backup link of `./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic' before installing new version: Operation not permitted My fs is a vfat, ubuntu , with wubi version indicated in summary

2008-11-11 12:17:39 Colin Watson dpkg: statusexplanation It might make sense to have dpkg handle this case. It's awkward that link() gets EPERM in this case though, since that can also mean that the source of the link is a directory.
