Matthias,

My apologies - this is the first bug I have ever reported. I just used 
reportbug and answered the questions it asked of me (novice user). 

This was not meant as a joke - I need to install zope2.8, which depends on 
zope-common, and I ran into this problem. I do believe it is a serious 
problem - removing the kernel-image that is running the machine seems pretty 
strange.

I don't know what logs you want. I just ran 'apt-get -t testing install 
zope-common' and the response back was that the kernel-image had to be 
removed in order to install zope-common. I continued through with the 
installation until I got to the point where I was asked if I really really 
wanted to hose my system by removing the kernel-image.

This is what I see:
hammerhead:/tmp/Zope-2.8.8-final# apt-get -t testing install zope-common

After unpacking 18.8MB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

What else can I provide? I am willing to provide any information you want - 
please let me know what I can do to help solve this problem. 

Mark
