Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Hello ghepeath, could you please explain how you preformed the distribution upgrade from Karmic to Lucid (using a CD, DVD, Network). It seems the error was cause by the pre-removal script of the old package, which means that if there was a bug in the old package removal script, I am not sure that this error can be avoided, but perhaps worked around.

Please try the following to see if it installs usb-creator 0.2.22 properly:
sudo apt-get purge usb-creator-common usb-creator-gtk
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk

Hey Buddy, when i did the up grade something broke on my system,
not sure exactly what was it. there was changes made from jaunty to karmic,
i remember installing Karmic from scratch, maybe that why mines wook out
good
but still got a few errors while i did so so i made i clean install. I
recommend you do
a clean install, also you shuld back up your /etc/ files if needed, and most
important
separate your home in a partition that way u can all ways do clean install
with out the
need of backing up you personal files or all the users on your computer,
this been
working great for me, since i started doing it, if some thing happen with in
your desktop
configuartion, all u mae need to do is reset it by deleting the following
hidden folders
,gnome2, .gnome2_private, .gconf, ,gconfd, .cconfig,
Those steps will allow you to reset ur desktop and Gnome apps settings,
incase u don't know how to separet ur home directoy here are tow videos that
maight help

Not sure if this will help, but is the best i can do, i had to a clean
install, just for me not figuring out
that is wrong. it is pain less this way.
