Hello,

Description:

I didn't pay attention and ran a "pacman -Syu" while the shell was in an SMB share (through gnome-vfs).

I got this warning in the shell (in French so I translated it back the best I could):

:: Executing pre-transaction hooks...
(1/1) Remove DKMS modules
error: failed to determine current directory
==> dkms remove broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271 -k 4.15.3-1-ARCH

I didn't get any warning on post-transaction hooks, and the "kernel-4.15.3-1-ARCH-x86_64" version of the module was properly removed, so I guess it was more troubling than necessary.

So I set this report to very low severity.

Additional info:
* package version: dkms 2.5-1
* config and/or log files etc.: log posted above, I don't think more is necessary.


Steps to reproduce:

Shell session in a gnome-gvfs share, the working directory looked something like "/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=freebox_server,share=hard%20drive/".
This task depends upon

Could you run again and show the output with the env variable DKMS_ALPM_HOOK_DEBUG set to 1?
