apt-get upgrade dpkg error in chroot environment

[Kushal Koolwal <kushalkoolwal@hotmail.com>]

SO I have a debootrap Debian 5.0 (i386) on /home/kushalk/debianTest

I chroot into it by:

#chroot  /home/kushalk/debianTest

and then mount the /proc by:

#mount -t proc proc /proc

Now when I run:

#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade

 I always noticed that whenever a kernel tries to get upgraded,
I get the following error message:
..............................
Setting up linux-image-2.6.26-2-686 (2.6.26-17lenny1) ...
Running depmod.
Running mkinitramfs-kpkg.
Not updating initrd symbolic links since we are being updated/reinstalled

Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-2.6.26-2-686
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
debian:/#
..............................

However if the upgrade process does not involve any kernel upgrade then apt-get 
does not complain about anything.

Any ideas?
