Is this still about the problem with gtkwifi? What you posted initially
showed that there was an issue with the post-removal script. The
contents of other files in /var/lib/dpkg/ should not have anything to do
with that. It is not not a good idea to just randomly delete files from
that directory and its subdirectories.
Did you ever try what I suggested on July 30th?
