Public bug reported: Hello me again :p,
After automaticly upgrading to the new kernel 2.6.27-11 without any problem; I was trying to remove old kernel files from my ubuntu intrepid install (using sysnaptique of course) to clean my grub screen. but I faced with this error message, here is the detailed uninstall log : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Lecture de la base de données... 117926 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.)
