When I try to purge old linux image:

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7

Why --force-all ?

(Reading database ... 259033 files and directories currently installed.)

And stop here. Only I can do is to press Ctrl+C
then result is:

/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux- image-2.6.14-2-k7.list is empty file

What to do???

Which debconf frontend do you use? I've had that happen to me when I
"accidentally" used the GNOME front-end. Not a problem, unless you're on
a virtual console and DISPLAY is set - then it shows the GUI on the X
display that I'm not looking at.... Took me a while to figure out...
