I don't really understand why this happens.

In the postrm it runs update-initramfs to remove all traces of uswsusp from the initramfs. If dpkg did its job there shouldn't be a hook-script left from uswsusp, so the run should be as if uswsusp wasn't their at all. Could you please try to run update-initramfs -u in a terminal to see if it succeeds? grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
