Bug#395110: cannot configure package: Missing Required parameter 'Old' at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7.postinst
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7
Version: 2.6.18-3
Severity: serious
When configuring this kernel, I observed the following:
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitrd.yaird to build the ramdisk.
Missing Required paramater 'Old' at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.18-1-k7.postinst line 393.
So I can't configure this kernel.
