Subject: Perl warnings (dpkg confmodule) on purging package

Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 14:12:51 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

this bug occurs here since a longer time. Everytime I purge a kernel
version, I get warnings from Perl on removing dkms modules.
I don't know if the fault is in dkms, debconf or linux-2.6, but here is
what I get:

# apt-get autoremove --purge linux-headers-3.1.0-1-common
linux-image-3.1.0-1-amd64 linux-kbuild-3.1

I think it's the fault of dkms.  The script /etc/kernel/prerm.d/dkms
needs to redirect stdout so that it is not sent to debconf.

If you seem to know what you are doing, you'll be given more to do.
