Hi Kejia,

1. please remove (better purge) all packages that have 2.6.32-trunk in
their *name* (the command 'dpkg -l *2.6.32-trunk*' should give you a
list). That "version" sorts badly (i.e. before more recent kernels) and
confuses many programs.

2. install the metapackages
    linux-headers-2.6-amd64
    linux-image-2.6-amd64
   (the version being installed should be 2.6.32+28)
   These metapackages should keep track of the current kernel (header)
   versions.

3. If you still have dkms or upgrading problems, please provide full
version info (old, currently installed version and new, to be installed
version) for all involved packages and the complete dpkg output. Even if
this is not an nvidia-graphics-drivers problem, we might help track it
down in the kernel packages.

Andreas
