Dear all,

It seems that at least on ix86, the latest woody security updates forthe kernel packages are completely broken. The kernel packages namedkernel-image-2.4.18-1-<subflavor> with version 2.4.18-13 contain onlyone module. DO NOT upgrade to these packages or your system will bebroken when you reboot.


hoping this warning is timely and not _too_ redundant,
