I'm having a couple of issues with my Ubuntu server currently. When using apt for anything it tells me:
The following packages will be REMOVED
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-server
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-19-server
But the uninstall fails because the directories and images already do not exist.
dkpg --list | grep linux-restricted-modules
...returns this information:
rH linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-11-server 2.6.28-11.15
rH linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-19-server 2.6.28-19.24
So the r means I want it removed and I think the H means it only half exists on the system or something?
How to I remove whatever is left of this package so I can stop receiving these error messages?
Thanks.
