Was having a problem with the fresh install of Debian 6 64 bit. I don't believe this is Eleven2's fault but OnApp(cloud software).
When using "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade" I kept receiving errors such as:
"E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

To fix this I changed my sources.list [located in "/etc/apt/sources.list"] to:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free

then used command:
"apt-get remove grub-legacy grub-common"
Fixed all issues and errors giving me problems. Just a share, submit corrections if needed

I have this exact problem: a totally clean debain installation, and "aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade" has left me with two packages that are marked as 'partially upgraded':

C linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-41s 2.6.32-41s
C linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

I submitted a ticket to support but haven't had a response. Do you know what effect removing Grub has? Is there no need for a boot loader in a virtualised environment?
