Hi, I got a similar problem problem when upgrading from Karmic to Lucid Lynx (beta 2) with some alsa packages..
For me, it couldn't find some required directories (/lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic and /lib/modules/2.6.31-19-generic), so I just created empty ones .. see mkdir below, then ran apt-get autoremove and that finally worked. At least this is a temporary fix, it seems: After this operation, 40.4MB of additional disk space will be used.
