Bug#413311: Acknowledgement (linux-image-2.6.18-4-686: Install routine fails due to readlink error)

["Todd A. Jacobs" <tjacobs-kw-reportbug.e56379@codegnome.org>]

The problem appears to be caused by unresolved dependencies when
tracking stable, but using kernel packages from testing or unstable. The
follwing steps are needed to get this situation straightened out:

    1. aptitude remove linux-image-2.6.18-4-686
    2. aptitude install coreutils/unstable
    3. aptitude install linux-image-686/unstable

The key packages which seem to be needed as part of the upgrade are
coreutils and libc6-i686, which don't seem to get pulled in properly as
dependencies. However, the manual procedure *did* resolve the issue on
my system.
