Details

there is some contradiction there:

in the post-install function of fuse.install, it is said:
"==> You must load the fuse kernel module to use FUSE.
-> Run 'modprobe fuse' to load the module now."

but the kernel module is NOT included in the package !

so how can we modprobe i module that is not installed ?????

so please choose between including the fuse module (why not ?) or clean that post-install function.
This task depends upon

The fuse module is included in the kernel, so if you built your own kernel without FUSE, then the fuse module is not installed. AFAIK, the stock kernel and the beyond kernel both include this module by default.
