[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#476526: [virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-utils] Version mismatch: X modules fail to load

[Tapio Rantala]

Package: virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-6
Severity: minor

Inside virtualbox in a freshly installed lenny, X fails to start
after running /usr/share/virtualbox/x11config.pl to modify xorg.conf.

xorg is version 1:7.2-5
Installing xorg from unstable (1:7.3+10) avoids the problem

I suggest that a versioned dependency is added.
