Bug Description
Binary package hint: kvm
When installing, kvm tries to load the kernel module. My bios seems to disable svm and kvm-amd can't load, so installation fails.
When uninstalling, kvm tries to unload the kernel module. Since it isn't loaded, uninstallation fails.
I have no option in my bios to enable svm support, so i can't fix it that way.
I've tried to force uninstallation, but doesn't work.
Some messages are in spanish, so I added translation to english
$ sudo dpkg --purge --force-all kvm

Installation must NOT try to load modules or at least manage load errors.
Uninstallation must NOT try to unload modules or at least manage load errors.
