I have my own kernel installed:

image for version 2.6.33.4-hvw

no headers and no other debian images.

When I do a apt-get dist-upgrade though I see:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
...linux-image-2.6-486 linux-image-2.6.32-5-486...

Do you have mindi installed?  Otherwise I cannot see a package in
sid/experimental that would pull in linux-image-2.6-486.

which I want to avoid, because it adds to the time to do the upgrade
and I am only interested in Debian's 2.6.33, which is still in
experimental.

Can anyone think of a way around this?

No, but please run "aptitude -s -D full-upgrade" to figure out why
linux-image-2.6-486 gets installed.


Bingo. It's mindi. The funny thing is I install mondo(with mindi) from upstream because its support on Debian has fallen by the wayside:
current is 2.2.9.3-1 and debian still has 1:2.2.7-2.1.

Thanks a lot!
