Package: dkms Version: 2.1.1.2-6 Severity: normal When removing an obsolete kernel, I got 6 warnings like this one: Use of uninitialized value $command in lc at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 123, <GEN0> line 3.
I don't know if dkms is at fault or if it's virtualbox that is not using dkms correctly.
