I never use dkms autoinstall but I just used it and I cannot reproduce 
the problem. It looks based on /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/0.0.20180218/ it 
is looking for a snapshot from Feb. It could be that you are having 
different problems here. Maybe your system had issues back in Feb where 
it thought it removed the RPM but didn't?

Since I don't see the 0.0.20180218 RPM installed you most likely can 
manually remove /var/lib/dkms/wireguard/0.0.20180218/ and this error 
should go away.
