There are actually two errors here:

A shell script error on line 82 concerning the "[" 'test' operator.

A shell script error calling basename.

Those are probably related.  You could see them by looking at the post
installation script being run by that package.  But the best thing to
do is to report the bug to the maintainers of the package.

While basename is a GNU coreutils program the correct use of it is the
responsibility of the downstream developer.  In this case you should
report this against the linux-image-2.6.15-29-386 package that you are
trying to install.

You did not say which system you were running but let me guess that
the following should work for you.  If 'reportbug' is not installed
then you will need to install it first.

  reportbug linux-image-2.6.15-29-386
