I get errors when using apt-get that are not fatal but are annoying.
I made my own kernel a while ago and used the wrong syntax. I have already
removed this old kernel but the error
messages keep hanging around.

Should i simply edit that file /var/lib/dpkg/available
and delete the lines

Description: Linux kernel binary image for version 2.6.20
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version
2.6.20.
.
It also contains the corresponding System.map file, and the modules
built by the packager. It also contains scripts that try to ensure
that the system is not left in a unbootable state after an update.
.
Kernel image packages are generally produced using kernel-package,
and it is suggested that you install that package if you wish to
create a custom kernel from the sources. Please look at kernel-img.conf(5),
and /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz from the package kernel-package
for details on how to tailor the installation of this or any other kernel
image package
the package was already removed i think
