Unable to install packages-Ubuntu tries to mess up my boot manager!

[santi_]

I cannot get package installer, either Synaptic, Ubuntu Center, sodo aptitude install or plain double clicking on .deb files I have already downloaded on my PC to work.

I get this:

dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

When I do(even after a clear)
sudo dpkg --configure -a

, Ubuntu goes and tries to mess up with my boot configuration. wtf does installing a package have to do with messing up my lilo? I get this regardless of how I try to install the package and it makes no sense(ok, If I do this graphically, I get the same errors from a widget window)

Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92bubuntu53) ...

Any idea what is wrong here? I have no clue what business Ubuntu has trying to mess up with all the other distros I can boot.

[Dayofswords]

your using LILO?

that really out of date
"Stable release 22.8 / February 19, 2007; 3 years ago"

idk if ubuntu can even use it, why cant you use grub?

Yes, I have another 4 linux distros on my PC, including Slack which is my favorite.
Why should a package installer care or try to mess up with my boot loader????
