I have tried to install linux-image and linux-headers.

However installing only via: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8

I got this error:

Configuro linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 (2.6.12-6) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: line 850: ldd: command not found
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: errore processando linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8 (--configure):
 il sottoprocesso post-installation script ha restituito un codice di errore 9

And so it seems related to missing 'ldd'. What's the ldd-package?

# apt-file search ldd | grep \/ldd
fakechroot: usr/share/doc/fakechroot/examples/ldd.fake.gz
ia32-libs: usr/bin/ldd
ia32-libs: usr/bin/lddlibc4
libc6: usr/bin/ldd

????

Thanks,
