Interesting, according to packages.ubuntu.com, lrm-video is no longer part of any ubuntu package; the last time it was provided was in intrepid.

My guess is that no upgrade process removed the file (as should have happened), and so it's been sitting on your system. By Karmic, it has bitrotted to the point that some of its syntax (-Q) is no longer valid... and boom.

As a workaround, you can safely just delete the /sbin/lrm-video file, but we'll leave the bug open since that needs to be done by the upgrader.
