    sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
    Reading package lists... Done

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    linux-restricted-modules-2.6.27-15-server: Depends: linux-restricted-modules-common which is a virtual package.




    When I try to install the missing package:



    sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-common
