Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686
Version: 2.6.8-16
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Installing the kernel image breaks the current one and means the server
is in an unrebootable state. It is beause e2fsprogs is printing
some stupid HEX value for some reason. e2fsprogs is version
1.35-6
These kernel images MUST NOT use this e2fsprogs, installing
version 1.38-1.1 fixes it.
Please Hit return to continue.

Thanks for this bug report. Very soon 2.6.8 will be removed from
sid and thus only exist in sarge. Sarge has 1.37-2sarge1,
which I do not believe has this problem.
I am going ahead and closing this bug as it would appear
to be sid-only, and thus will be resolved as soon as the
ftpmasters remove 2.6.8 from the archive.
