The following information could help you : The following packages have non satisfied dependances:linux-image-3.2.0-0.bpo.1-686-pae : depends : linux-base (>=3~) but 2.6.32-41 will have to be installed Recommends : firmware-linux-free (>=3~) but 2.6.32.41 will have to be installed
E: Defectuous packages #Kernel 2.6.32-41, which I supposedly should install... is the one that is already running on that system !!
I guess that I will have to do a new kernel compiling from sources and headers and installation from scratch. But is it safe to try installing a 3.2 vintage on my system ? Will it take up a lot more RAM ? The only other 2.6 kernel that I could find is 2.6.33-20 (also to be installed from scratch). Do you think that it might be safer to test that one first ? Is this kernel likely to have taken into account the bug that concerns my PCI wireless card ?
