I am also having the same problem updating the kernel from
2.4.27-2-686-smp to 2.6.14-1-686 . The exact errors are as follows
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.14-1-686

Does anyone have an idea why this is happening or should I file a bug

I could be mistaken, but I believe I had to upgrade both modutils and
util-linux in making the transition to building and installing 2.6
kernels. The 2.4 compat versions won't work for 2.6 stuffs.
