--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3.2 Severity: important Hello. I was using linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem and linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common, with nvidia and virtualbox kernel modules, and also linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 installed. While aptitude upgraded linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 to linux-image-2.6.38-1-686, it: 1) didn't upgrade linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem to linux- image-2.6.38-1-686-bigmem, meaning my system couldn't use all available physical memory (grub would select the latest kernel, so the one without bigmem support) 2) didn't install linux-headers-2.6.38-1-common thus dkms failed to install the kernel modules, resulting after reboot with X not starting - installing manually this package made dkms correctly build the modules Regards Nicolas -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.3 compiled at Oct 18 2010 22:11:25 Compiler: g++ 4.4.5 Compiled against: apt version 4.10.1 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.2.4.2 Ept support enabled.
