[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#451743: postinst unconditionally attempts to modprobe vboxdrv

[Kel Modderman]

Package: virtualbox-ose-source
Severity: wishlist

The following code in kernel module binary package derived from this package 
should be removed or made smarter:

case "${1}" in
	configure)
		modprobe vboxdrv || true
		invoke-rc.d udev reload

IMHO, the loading of vboxdrv should be tied in with application runtime. If 
this "moprobe on install" semantic must persist, it should at least check 
running kernel version before attempting to call modprobe.

Thanks, Kel.
