Hello, I created and successfully installed a custom kernel package using $(make deb-pkg). Then after a failed boot test I removed it and then thought that I actually want to purge it. Here's the result: user@host:~$ sudo dpkg --remove linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt (Reading database ... 153356 files and directories currently installed.) Removing linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt ... update-initramfs: Deleting /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-rc8-rt user@host:~$ sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt (Reading database ... 150555 files and directories currently installed.) Removing linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt ... Purging configuration files for linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt ... Cannot delete /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33-rc8-rt, doesn't exist. run-parts: /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt (--purge): subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.33-rc8-rt I didn't check if the problem is the package or initramfs-tools (0.93.4).
