if the wallpaper was hung with the old wheat paste then there is a coating of it on the walls. there's like a skin of paste on the walls so applying a paint will soften the paste and the paint will dry on this skin. once the paint is dry, it will flake off. you got to get to the plaster. wash the walls thoroughly with warm water. It might even behoove you to scuff the walls with a 80 grit sandpaper so that the walls have some "teeth" to grab and hold the paint.
