2.6.15-1-686 Kernel Wont Upgrade

[Leonard Chatagnier <lenc5570@sbcglobal.net>]

Haven't been able to upgrade using testing with the
2.6.15-1-686 linux-image. Installing the libslang2
packages results in error code (1). The error is
consistently reproducible. I have woody-bf-2.4 and
2.6.8-2-686 kernels installed also and have upgraded
under testing primarily but have, I think, one sid
package from ftp://ftp.nerim.net sid/main
Packages(media player upgrade in order to play vider).
Would be most appreciative of any solution or
references for possible somution. The pertinent error
shown is
"unable to make backup link of
`./usr/share/lintian/overrides/libslang2' before
installing new version: Operation not permitted".
Found one link googling for the lintian/overrides
error,
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=libslang2&version=unstable&arch=mips,
but the site and search engine was disabled.
The wajig upgrade output is showm below:
