Hi Manoj, Hi All,

I tried to rebuild kernel-image-1-i386-2.4.26 after removing the
following packages which are now provided by kernel-image-1-i386-2.4.27

    . kernel-image-2.4-586tsc
    . kernel-image-2.4-686
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-686-smp
    . kernel-image-2.4-k7-smp
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-k6
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-686
    . kernel-image-2.4-686-smp
    . kernel-image-2.4-k7
    . kernel-image-2.4-k6
    . kernel-image-2.4-386
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-k7
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-386
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-k7-smp
    . kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4-586tsc

This is to get around the problem where these packages are rejected
as their version, 2.4.26-6 is less than the version currently
in debian provided by kernel-image-1-i386-2.4.27, that is version
2.4.27-X. This will allow 2.4.26-6 to be uploaded.

However, when I try to built packages thus, the
build fails with the error.

dpkg-gencontrol: error: package kernel-image-2.4-386 not in control info
dh_gencontrol: command returned error code 65280
make[2]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/horms/work/debian-kernel/kernel-image-2.4.26-i386-2.4.26/kernel-image-2.4.26-i386-2.4.26/install-386'
make[1]: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 2

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to
resolve either this error or the upload problem?
