I'm experiencing the problem as well because I have a customized kernel:

	$ uname -r
	2.4.20mh04

Is there a workaround for this problem so that I can get libc6 installed?
I'd like to manually modify the preinst script with the above kernel_rev
line.  It doesn't appear possible because dpkg extracts the preinst
directly from the .deb.  Is there a way to modify the preinst so that I
can get past this problem?

Thanks,
- Mark
