[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#688904: dkms: remove non-functional, breaks dh_dkms maintscript

[Christoph Egger]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.3-1.1
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-bsd at lists.debian.org

Hi!

  I just noticed updating fuse4bsd-dkms fails on my kfreebsd-amd64. It
seems the `dkms remove` command used in the prerm script is a no-op at
least on kfreebsd

  I don't have a linux here to check and it somewhat sounds similar to
#659672 though I'm not sure it is the same
