This does not upgrade any 2.4.26 kernel. You have 2.4.27-2-386 installed
(currently running or not does not matter) and only this kernel image gets
updated. This does not harm your current system if your boot loader is
correctly configured to boot your chosen kernel by default.
If you don't need 2.4.27-2-386, uninstall it.
