apt-get broken after new kernel was compiled

[daredevilfury]

Hi, I jst switched to Debian Etch..Everything was working fine...I just recompiled the kernel to 2.6.23.12...now the problem is that every time i try to use apt-get install, it ends up with this :


After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.
Setting up linux-image-2.6.18-5-amd64 (2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch6) ...
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs-kpkg to build the ramdisk.
cp: missing destination file operand after `/tmp/tmp.ddjBRc6268/sbin/'
Try `cp --help' for more information.
mkinitramfs-kpkg failed to create initrd image.

Any hints on what i need to do to correct this? Output of uname-a is

Linux dead 2.6.23.12 #1 SMP Sun Dec 30 19:45:53 SGT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Compile / configure your new kernel from source.
