After this my comp work still fine with old linux-image 2.6.38-1 but it is unable to uninstall new one half installed.

Any suggestion...
Thanks....

Looks like a bad download, run apt-get clean then try again.

Thanks for replay,
But situation is unchanged. The same errors appears again.

This is a non existing file, according to the package lists :
http://packages.debian.org/sid/syslinux
http://packages.debian.org/sid/syslinux-common
http://packages.debian.org/sid/extlinux
Please look for[list of files]

So unless it is a file generated at install / setup, it isn't there.

This file isn`t there. What is problem? Bad package of kernel or something else? Thill now my debian sid work excellent. Now usb printer isn`t work. All other seems to work fine.

I steel have no idea what is the solution of this problem. Why I can`t remove half installed kernel package?
