This situation was resolved by applying the intell, gleaned from the thoughts provided by Stephen others from all of you. Here is what I did. 1. used mc to locate every vestige of the trunk version, and physically deleted all of them. Recall I was able to get the other version to boot up, albeit without it being properly configured correctly. 2. used synaptic to purge syslinux extlinux mkrboot. Both extlinux syslinux were added by mkrboot when I installed it to make some bootable media. 3. reinstalled the upgraded regular linux-image. 4. celebrated the fact that given time this list has solved every issue I've ever had with linux. An opinion: the trunk version is NOT properly packaed with approriate warnings should be removed from the distro, or at least sent to experimental.

Trunk version of linux-image ISSUE
I', sent this previously but so far no reply. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this issue. I did an update the trunk version of linux-image was installed as the upgraded version. A few weeks later I tried to install the newer regular version after a few attempts it finally installed grub configured it. However it is not properly configured according to the installer as it keeps trying to configure the non-trunk version every time I do an update. Now I've been able to select the non-trunk version have my system running it, even though it's not properly configured. I tried to then remove the trunk ver. this is the error message I get. - (Reading database ... 431717 files and directories currently installed.) Removing linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 ...
