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. Remove the bcmwl-kernel-source package.
You should get the error that the original bug reporter described.
Once the updated package is installed, you should be able to follow the above steps and receive no error.
