Error removing linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-15-generic

After a failed upgrade I ran apt-get install -f, one package is to be removed but it fails. Any ideas?

$ sudo apt-get install -f

nobody's picking this one up, so...
i'm still on 7.10, so i need to do some guess work here.
2.6.22-15 must have been left over from your gutsy (ie 7.10) installation.
ttbomk, 2.6.22-15 is not in the hardy (ie 8.04) repositories anymore.

pls, open a konsole, make it as wide as possible.
then post here the result of the following commands:

dpkg-query -l '*linux*2.6.22*'

to see what's actually installed with reference to kernel 2.6.22
and

ls -la /boot

to see exactly what's in the boot directory

these are just "read" commands, so to speak.
they involve no modification to your system.
they basically won't do any harm.

cheers

I managed to solve it with some help from irc. I dont remember what I did though... still want me to paste the output of that command?

well done.
i'd say there's no need to go into this any further.
take care.
