Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-21
Severity: normal

The bug report refers to the packet libc6. When installing newer version
of libc6 the apt system tries to uninstall all kernels. See the
following example:
# apt-get install libc6
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libc6-dev locales
Suggested packages:
  glibc-doc manpages-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  initrd-tools kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 kernel-image-2.6.10-1-k7
  kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libc6 libc6-dev locales
  3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 827 not
  upgraded.
  Need to get 11.7MB of archives.
  After unpacking 119MB disk space will be freed.
  Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n
  Abort.

As you can see from the example the install tries to uninstall
initrd-tools and all installed kernels. This makes that I cannot upgrade
some other packages that depend on a newer version of libc6.
