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.

Hello,

the last upload 2.6.18-4 was built with a newer kernel-package, we just
forgot to close the bug in the changelog.

Best regards
