#
# DebFindFailsafe - Find correct FAILSAFE kernel to use on Debian systems.
#
# Approach:
# - get architecture
# - get kernel version (e.g. '2.6' or '2.4') of running kernel
# - find matching latest generic kernel using list of virtual candiates
#
# Caveats:
# - candiates lists need to be maintained manually; not too much overhead
# - the kernel relases don't have to match, i.e. a 2.6.12 could be running and
#   a 2.6.15 might get selected as failsafe; probably ok
#
# Changelog:
# 28Jan06AL: - initial version
# 12Feb06AL: - removed 'FATAL ERROR' from error messages
#            - check for status of kernel package, not dpkg (silly glitch)
#            - tell users to install kernel package when not found
#            - turned from independent script into snippet that is sourced by mindi
#              (prefixed all variables with 'EXT_' as external name space)
#            - use Die for better error reporting (possible through previous step)
#
