Install failed with Errors were encountered while processing:

While trying to remove a package compat-wireless-ath9k, I received the following error,

dpkg: error processing compat-wireless-ath9k (--remove):
 subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 compat-wireless-ath9k
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

In order to get this to go away, I removed ever file that was like compat-wireless-ath9k from the /var/lib/dpkg/info directory.

Those files were like,

compat-wireless-ath9k.list
compat-wireless-ath9k.postrm
compat-wireless-ath9k.postinst

Then I ran,

$ sudo apt-get -f install

and it took care of the rest.
