Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

Gutsy up-to-date.

Used Synaptic to remove uninstalled package residual information.

The following error is reported by Synaptic
E: linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-6-generic: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1

However, the Synaptic GUI does not crash completely and I can still use the application.
