I'm really surprised that _installing_ a kernel actually removed, *and* *purged* another package. Do you still have you /var/log/dpkg.log, so I can investigate and file bug where appropriate ? Also, I'm surprised you are using 2.6.17, since it wasn't in any stable release (neither in Sarge or Etch). What release do you use ?
