[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#572238: dkms left file dkms_autoinstaller in /etc/init.d/ so sysv-rc can't update propperly

[Anders Jackson]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.1-1
Severity: normal

When upgrading sys-rc reports that there are some obsolete files left in /etc/init.d, which one is dkms_autoinstaller.
All other was removed when those removed packages was purged.

But dkms was not removed (and I don't want to do that either).
I search for the file, and saw it was marked obsoleted (source: Debian Wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot)

$ sudo dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' dkms
 (removed some non relevant lines)
 /etc/init.d/dkms_autoinstaller 31755b8b4f52ede7f50a90ca2e15340b obsolete
$

After removing the file manually,  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'  worked.

Anyway, thanks for all the work on Debian.
