Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-headers-2.6.31-17-generic

I had a problem installing/uninstalling everything. I was getting a series of errors, but everything started from a problem with Grub2. I completely removed and reinstalled grub2 and also removed linux-headers-2.6.31-14 , -15 and -16 (they were causing me problems and I didn't understand why they remained install since i had updated to version -17) and also removed linux-image-2.6.31-14 , -15 and -16 (for the same reason).

Nevertheless trying to reinstall the current package, I got an error again.
