dkms install problems

[Zé]

I have been building madwifi svn releases and in last dkms-madwifi install i 
saw some weird outputs.

As we can see im installing dkms-madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2669, it was installed 
dkms-madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2659, but all madwifi kernel modules were removed 
during the install when that shouldnt happened, but check the output:


[root at asus x86_64]# urpmi madwifi-0.9.4-0.svn2669.1mde2007.1.x86_64.rpm
