setserial =>ERROR CODE 1!! after apt-get autoremove

[Don Juan Santiago]

I have a custom grub2 install running on a seperate partition sda1 while all core lubuntu files located system root sda5
I successfully ran lubuntu using vmlinuz-4.2.0-22-generic off of system root partition sda5 from grub2 partition sda1
I had an error during ubuntu 15.10 upgrade from lubuntu 15.04 regarding setserial error code 1
After i repaired my grub2 config file to load 4.2 from 3.19 vmlinuz.. i rebooted into lubuntu and performed a package cleanup...

I solved the issue using the following links

alt+f2... gksudo lxterminal... sudo dpkg --force-all -P setserial

http://askubuntu.com/questions/539235/how-to-remove-obsolete-packages-after-failed-release-upgrade-via-do-release-upgr

apt-get update

apt-get autoremove

apt-get clean

UNUSCONF=$(dpkg -l|grep "^rc"|awk '{print $2}')

apt-get remove --purge $UNUSCONF

NEWKERNEL=$(uname -r|sed 's/-*[a-z]//g'|sed 's/-386//g')

ADDKERNEL="linux-(image|headers|ubuntu-modules|restricted-modules)"

METAKERNEL="linux-(image|headers|restricted-modules)-(generic|i386|server|common|rt|xen)"

UNUSKERNELS=$(dpkg -l|awk '{print $2}'|grep -E $ADDKERNEL |grep -vE $METAKERNEL|grep -v $NEWKERNEL)

apt-get remove --purge $UNUSKERNELS

update-grub

*** than after a reboot.. using Synaptic Package Manager.. reinstalled setserial package

P.S. I guess Upgrading from lubuntu 15.04 with 3.19 version of vmlinuz to 15.10 doesnt cleanup all the old upgrades...
