First of all, you replied to me personally instead of to the list.
I'm putting this back on the list where it belongs.
If you have already done the upgrade, you should have two kernel
image packages installed: linux-image-2.6.32-3-<arch> and
linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-<arch>. If you wish to purge the old
kernel, shutdown and reboot first. This will cause the new kernel
to be booted. Then you can purge the old one. aptitude will
not let you purge or remove a running kernel.
I know about rebooting and purging. I've done it lots before. It's not working that way in this case. Honestly. There's just no evidence that I can find that there's more than one kernel to select from. In fact, there's not even any evidence at all that there was any kernel upgrade on the three machines that had the initial OS installation done with the trunk kernel install option. On the other system, I can see that a new linux-image package was installed. But there's only one choice of kernels at boot time. And any attempt on any of these systems to remove the "obsolete" kernel results in the warning that the only kernel is being removed.
