grml64-small upgrade error
Hi,
I ran 'apt-get update' then 'apt-get upgrade', and I got the following error:
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 1728 package 'linux-image-2.6.36-grml64': error in Version string 'grml.02': version number does not start with digit (Reading database ... 21612 files and directories currently installed.)

How can I fix? Or I can just wait for an update?

Whereas those look like errors they're actually just warnings, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620566 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=620699

We'd have to know what your 'aufs' mount looks like, seems to be a problem with your setup/configuration.
BTW: Please note that grml2hd installations are NOT supported and you should be able to deal with Debian/unstable.

Hi,
See http://blog.grml.org/archives/353-Grml-kernels-cant-be-installed-with-dpkg-1... for the problem description.
But you seem to have two different kind of problems. One is the dpkg warning message. You can get rid of it with installing the latest grml kernel from the grml testing repostory.
The other one is a little bit more problematic:
package 'linux-image-2.6.36-grml64': error in Version string 'grml.02': version number does not start with digit Setting up grub-pc (1.99~rc1-8) ... /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `aufs'. dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub: grub depends on grub-pc; however: Package grub-pc is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing grub (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Setting up libslang2-modules (2.2.3-3) ... configured to not write apport reports configured to not write apport reports Setting up slsh (2.2.3-3) ...

It seems that you want to upgrade your iso image via apt-get upgrade. I assume you have setup a persistent partition and want to update your usb stick. This does not work with grub as it tries to load the support for your specific fs (in your case aufs) which does not exist and exists.
I dont know a solution you just may uninstall grub and just install a dummy package (equivs) to resolve the dependencies of the kernel image.
