Here is output for "sudo apt-cache policy
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386":

W: Unable to locate package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-26-386

Yet when i look for  "sudo apt-cache policy
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386":

root at showof:/home/serg# apt-cache policy
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386

linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15-23-386:
  Installed: 2.6.15.11-1
  Candidate: 2.6.15.11-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.15.11-1 0
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper/restricted Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


I ran this just after "update"... So I really have no idea whats going
