Greetings,
I have a quite severe problem regarding my Ubuntu 9.10 root server. The server was running 8.04, I later upgraded to 8.10, 9.04 and now to 9.10 recently. Suddenly I noticed that when I do the usual updates via the update manager i get a lot of error messages. These are the messages I get in synaptic:
E: linux-image-2.6.31-17-server: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-17-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-backports-modules-karmic-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-image-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
E: linux-server: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
And a little more information when I try to "upgrade" via console with sudo apt-get upgrade:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y

Now I did sudo apt-get update before trying to update my kernel and I get these error messages. The command "uname -a" tells me I am currently using kernel 2.6.27.9 so this is quite a serious problem.
any ideas why I cannot install the current server kernel ?
