It is already being shown as not installed. In fact, I am trying to
install it.
The problem with this kernel is that I purged it when /boot was
mistakenly mounted on some other device. So apt worked as far as its
database is concerned, but the package's files remained on the original
/boot. Now that I have the correct boot, I would like to install the
package again and then follow by purging it so that aptitude now removes
all the files from the correct /boot.
