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.
