This doesn't seem related to the depmod problem.
First try removing the package
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic.
If the error persist when trying to remove that package and if you
know posix shell scripting, then edit the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic.postrm ,
put debug statements to see where it fails and try to avoid the error or
ignore it.
If the error persist when trying to remove that package and if you
don't know posix shell scripting, then delete the file
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic.postrm.
Then try to remove the package again, it should work now.
After that, install both packages again: "sudo apt-get install
linux-image-2.6.28-15-generic linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-15-generic".
Hope this helps! Good luck!
