Ok, I've been having this issue for a while. a couple months ago, I compiled a custom kernel with 2.6.29.4, and everything had been going fine until I decided to clear out my old kernels via ubuntu tweek. when it tried to remove these packages: linux-headers-2.6.28-14, linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-14-generic, and linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic it started giving me troubles. now, if i try to run an apt-get install -f, it tries to remove those leftovers but gives me these errors:

i've been searching the forums and google, looking for a solution, but i have not been very successful. if anyone can help, please do. everytime i try to install something via apt-get, I have to deal with this problem and usually leave these things marked since they can't be removed.
