Experiencing the same.
Now have packages linux-backports-modules-2.6.32-14-generic and linux-backports-modules-2.6.32-15-generic as residual config in Synaptic.
When I try to completely remove these packages I come across the same error message for each of the packages.

Hi, I got a similar problem problem when upgrading from Karmic to Lucid Lynx (beta 2) with some alsa packages..

For me, it couldn't find some required directories (/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic and /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic), so I just created empty ones .. see mkdir below, then ran apt-get autoremove and that finally worked. At least this is a temporary fix, it seems:

After this operation, 40.4MB of additional disk space will be used.
