</div>Yes this is the case with some chipcards.<br>

</div>If you are using 1:9-4-1, 2.6.29 is the only supported Kernel atm.<br>

</div>This leaves the system on upgrading in an unconfigured state where dpkg<br>
has to fail, which leads to much more problems.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>True, but it was the only mechanism I could think of that would prevent this situation.
