I tracked the problem to /var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-prime.postrm: 75
(just as the log says)
I have found a fix ( well, almost a fix ). I used "sudo leafpad" to open the
"/var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-prime.postrm" file. I deleted everything between
" # Restore the alternatives to a non prime
# configuration, if possible
os_release="$(lsb_release -c | cut -d: -f2 | sed "s/\t//g")" "
and
"update-alternatives --auto "$other_arch" || true
fi
fi "
I was now able to remove it using autoremove and reinstall. I don't know if
this method is safe.
