Yes, very much looks like the linux-backports-modules-wireless packages are to blame. When trying to purge them I get
dpkg: warning: while removing linux-backports-modules- wireless-2.6.32-20-generic, directory '/lib/modules/2.6.32-20-generic/updates' not empty so not removed. Purging them fails anyhow, that will be another bug to report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374105 Title: linux-image-$ver packages leave cruft behind To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/374105/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
