I see a message on the dpkg log about this file not being found: /var/lib/dpkg/info/hwtest.postrm
Somehow, the removal process still expected this file to be there and barfed when it couldn't execute it. May have something to do with the way you removed/purged the packages. This particular release of Ubuntu (8.10) reached EOL over a year ago, and is thus no longer supported. As well, hwtest has been superseded by checkbox and is now considered obsolete. Thus, I'll mark the bug report invalid. However, please do report again if you experience a similar problem on a currently-supported release.
