Bug#391302: linux-2.6: Error removing the kernel.
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-1
Severity: important
While removing the 2.6.18-1 kernel i got the following error:
carter:/carter/incoming# dpkg -r linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
(Reading database ... 30495 files and directories currently installed.)

Unless you used the optional flag in lilo,
you may need to re-run your boot loader[lilo]
The link /initrd.img is a damaged link
Removing symbolic link initrd.img
Unless you used the optional flag in lilo,

It happened after installing, in this order:
linux-image-2.6.18-1-xen-amd64
xen-hypervisor-3.0.2-1-amd64 xen-linux-system-2.6.18-1-xen-amd64
linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
and then removing linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
I had to purge them all and reinstall them to get them working.
Also, grub is installed, and lilo is mentioned !!
