Thanks spotting this. I did not notice it during my updates.
It looks that we have an issue in 2.2.4 post removal script, but this error
should also be in 2.2.6 then as it was not changed.
So we may encounter errors to upgrade from Bookworm to the next release if we
don't fix it.

I'll try to reproduce it in order to understand what happened and try to fix it.
However, with code freeze, I'll need to be careful to not break anything.
