Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-9
Severity: important
Setting up linux-image-2.6.18-4-prep (2.6.18.dfsg.1-9) ...
Hmm. The package shipped with a symbolic link /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-prep/source
However, I can not read the target: No such file or directory
Therefore, I am deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-prep/source
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.

Missing utility in object directory.
