dpkg: error processing brscan (--remove):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
brscan
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
After searching several links I figured out that only way to remove is actually to create those folders and then execute the commands as below
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHL
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHL2
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHL2FB
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHLFB
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHMFB
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/BHminiFB
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/YL4
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/Brother/sane/GrayCmData/YL4FB
