Serge, that is correct. The old broken version of the prerm script will be run when you upgrade.

Yes, that would make sense. However the version of pre-removal script that gets run is the one that is being removed, which is the old broken one. Seems to be the way debian packages work, always.

The CD driver worked for me as well. At first I thought it was because I did the upgrades during the install. I then tried an install with no upgrades, and had the same problem. Since the fix that I posted earlier, I have had no problems. On Thu, 2011-06-02 at 11:41 +, Tbliebert wrote: Thanks Mad Max (post #6); worked for me.

** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu Natty) Status: New = In Progress ** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu Natty) Assignee: (unassigned) = Luke Yelavich (themuso) ** Description changed: + SRU information for this bug: + + Rationale + The pre-removal script assumes that there are instances of the bcmwl module installed in the dkms tree prior to removal. In most cases this would be true, but there are instances, such as in this bug, where the bcmwl module is not in the tree, likely due to something the user has done. This stable update checks to make sure there are instances of the module to remove before actually doing so, making sure the package is removable in all circumstances. + + Impact + This bug is likely to affect a low number of users, but does guard against further breakage should something on a user's system break in the meantime. + + Regression potential + The regression potential is low to none, given that an extra check is added. + + How to reproduce (can be done on any system, even one without broadcom wireless hardware) + 1. Install the bcmwl-kernel-source package. + 2. Remove the module from the dkms tree using sudo dkms remove -m bcmwl -v 5.100.82.38+bdcom --all + 3.
