Comment 39 for bug 28020

Hi Otavio.
Recently i've talked with someone else that cannot purge 2.6.14, as
described in #344767.
I know that now it is solved for 2.6.15, but for people that still use
2.6.14 or have used it, the problem of purging it completely still
exist. For example on my machine, the various kernel images i've used
when i looked for bug 344767 are now uninstalled but marked as "c" and
if i try to purge them, the locks described in the bug report arise.
After upgrading to 2.6.15 and have seen that the bug was corrected, i've
forgotten about this and the not clean situation left by the 2.6.14
uninstall procedure.

At the last comment of the bug report you have reported a method to
clean the situation that i haven't understand:

To which program do the "-x" options belong to?
Please, can you re-explain how to definitively purge 2.6.14 in a more
verbose way?

I've CC'ed this message to the bug report hoping that your reply will go
there too, helping other people that try to solve that purging problem.

Regards.

Cesare.
