I can't help you to solve the problem, to say it first. But I had the exactly the same Problem with a self-compiled 2.6.14 kernel (from the kernel-source-2.6.14 package) and packaged with make-kpkg. Trying to "remove" the package worked everytime fine, put when I tried to purge the 2.6.14-kernel then I got the same error as You. I unfurtunatly don't remember with which "version" of make-kpkg (i.e. kernel-package) i compiled it, but comparing then the remove-script of my kernel-image-2.6.14 deb there was a difference with later remove-scripts. Maybee so a "idea" could be to analize the remove-script under /var/lib/dpkg/info in the (probably) apropriate postrm-Script? Sorry for my bad english, Regards Salvatore
