[Bug 487398] Re: package linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-14-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

[mcwimpy]

i used the "old kernel cleanup" functionlity in Ubuntu-Tweak the get rid
of old kernel stuff after upgrading to the latest  2.6.31-20 Kernel. I
assume that Ubuntu Tweak just did the same as if i would have manually
forgotten to deinstall this package in Synaptic. (That's why i try
Ubuntu Tweak ... it's always to tedious to clean out old kernel stuff in
Synaptic...)

probably everything excpet this package was deinstalled and once it was
alone and couldn't fumble around on the initrd (amongst others)  on
deinstall it didn't want to deinstall. error: package linux-backports-
modules-2.6.31-19-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade:
Unterprozess installiertes post-removal-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1
zurück ...

I don't regard it much as a bug - but more of sthg. i did wrong only
that some kind of monitoring/crash reporting SW showed a problem and
asked me to report it here. Actually it seems that Ubuntu tweak did
uninstall the backports modles but didn't purge it. so i installed it
again (+ol kernel as a dependancy) just to purge it afterwards -
including old kernel - problem solved for me.

hmmmm ... one thing pops to mind though. Is it possible to make this
package able to remove the config files / purge  the package after
deinstall completely, even when kernel is already gone?
