According to the Google, that package is something used for webcams. Is that true? Are you using a webcam? It will help to pinpoint the problem.

The snc9xxx driver is for a webcam - I was trying to install it but gave up. Now I am unable to use update manager. I am running ubuntu 7.04 and would like to update. I can't work uot how to uninstall the driver to get it out of the system.

@ rupert52
sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
or
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq packagename
@ unicorn_2003_1
Same for you,but if you want to keep package try with
sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
