upgrading libc6 from 2.2.5-14.3 to 2.3.1-5 fails on 712
Some package I installed required an upgrade of libc6, which resulted in the
following error message, during installation:
*****
Preparing to replace libc6 2.2.5-14.3 (using .../libc6_2.3.1-5_hppa.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
FATAL: kernel too old
dpkg: warning - old post-removal script returned error exit status 1
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_hppa.deb
(--unpack):

FATAL: kernel too old
dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.3.1-5_hppa.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

In the above error, what is that "kernel too old" supposed to mean? I have:
