Re: purging linux-image-2.6.18.1

Hi
    I have had such problems several times and I have always resolved them by 
editing /var/lib/dpkg/status by hand, setting the status of the corresponding 
package to not-installed.
   This has worked but it is not the preferred solution. If anyone knows a 
better solution please tell.

Regards
Gudjon
