Found a solution.

I dropped into recovery mode, dropped into root, and did :

touch /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-12-generic
mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.17-12-generic

and then ran dpkg --configure -a

and it all cleared up.

Part of the problem may have been that my /boot partition had gotten
very full over the years.
