Oh, dear. It looks like I have a more serious problem: 

esullivan at gandalf:~ $ uname -r
2.6.12-8-686
esullivan at gandalf:~ $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure kernel-`uname -r`
Password:
Package `kernel-2.6.12-8-686' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: kernel-2.6.12-8-686 is not installed
