E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Does this mean theirs a problem with my kernel? This all started today after I used apt to install rkhunter and I did a fullscan..
tried install lynis and chkrootkit and I began to get the dpkg error (1)..
Distribution: Ubuntu based stuff for the most part

The problem is with the kernel headers, not the kernel itself, so it will still work. They are used to compile other programs from source, so are not needed much unless you do lots of source compiling.
