Package: linux-image-2.6-386
Version: 2.6.14-6

Trying to purge that package you get the following situation (purge 
launched from aptitude):

----------------------

----------------------

At that point the purging procedure seems locked (i have waited over a 
minute) and i have to press CTRL+C. Then the output is:

----------------------
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.14-2-386 (--purge):
  subprocess post-removal script killed by signal (Interrupt)
Errors were encountered while processing:
  linux-image-2.6.14-2-386
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
Press return to continue.
----------------------

I have verified such behaviour also with "linux-image-2.6-686-smp".
If i try to remove the package, rather than purge, all seems to work 
well and this is the output:

----------------------

Press return to continue.
----------------------

I have seen bug #343093, but doesn't seem the same: here purge return an 
error instead of a lock.
