fuse kernel module should be removed on package removal

[Jared Moore]

Using Edgy.

Steps to reproduce:

1) lsmod | grep fuse
Should print nothing

2) sudo apt-get install gmailfs
Will install fuse as a dependency

3) lsmod | grep fuse
Will print an entry

4) sudo apt-get remove libfuse2
Will remove fuse

5) lsmod | grep fuse
The entry is still there (even after reboot)

Possible fix:

Remove fuse from /etc/modules

[Oliver Grawert (ogra)]

you should remove fuse-utils instead of libfuse since thats the part setting it up in /etc/modules ... but i agree that there should be a removal line in the postrm script.

[Daniel T Chen (crimsun)]

fuse-utils.postrm still lacks this functionality.
