package linux-image-2.6.27-9-generic 2.6.27-9.19 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 2

[Alex Forencich]

I'm using grub2, so there seems to be an incompatibility with the kernel uninstall script that means I need to switch back to grub 1 whenever I need to remove an old kernel. Also, the reason I needed to uninstall the old kernel was because the update-grub script was building the grub.cfg kernel list in the wrong order and loading on the of the older kernels by default.
