[Novalug] "aptitude" wants to remove kernel-image

When I try to install (Debian 3.1) any uninstalled executable (e.g.,
aptitude install mbmon), I get the following error message:  [REMOVE,
NOT USED] kernel-image-2.6.8-3-386.

Then, after a listing of all the dependencies (way too many -- a few
hundred) another, more dire, error message advises that terrible
things may happen if the kernel-image is removed.  Using dpkg offers
no improvement.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

sam
