this is an issue in dkms (some kind of corruption in the dkms internal 
state [remove finds nothing to remove, but add finds something is 
already there]). I hoped to fix this in the recent upload (it should at 
least no longer happen that dkms creates this broken state), but cleanup 
of already existing breakage was obviously insufficient.

In case you didn't try fixing this manually, please send me the output of

     dkms status nvidia-current
     find /var/lib/dkms/nvidia-current -ls

(try not to get it line-wrapped)


Thanks

Andreas
