[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#567460: Bug#567460: dkms: automatic module-build of the VirtualBox-Modules after kernel-update fails

[Mario Limonciello]

This is two separate issues.
For the first:
Can you post the apt log to see if the kernel postinst.d hook was not 
getting ran?

For the second,
That depends on what that script is actually doing.  And are you running 
it from the kernel you are supposed to be booted into?  It could 
possibly be a bug in the script.
