Description

Just look:
-------------------------------
# apt-get remove kernel-image-std-smp
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package kernel-image-std-smp is a virtual package provided by:
  kernel-image-std-smp#2.4.26-alt9 2.4.26-alt9 [Installed]
  kernel-image-std-smp#2.4.26-alt6 2.4.26-alt6
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package kernel-image-std-smp is a virtual package with multiple good providers.
-------------------------------

Conclusion:
apt knows that there is only one package installed, but claims it can not remove
it because there are multiple of them.

In better case ;) apt should say "You should explicitly select one to remove."
at least :-)

It can not found the right direction?
