Just happened to me, too. The reason is a logic error:
If dkms is removed, but not purged, the conf-files will not get deleted from
the system. As a result, the assumption that the package contents are available
if the conf-file is available is wrong.
-> please add a check to /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dksm to ensure that
/var/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller is available before calling it.
Thanks,
Stefan.
