[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#485402: VirtualBox: Driver version mismatch

[Jan-Benedict Glaw]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.2-dfsg-1
Distribution: sid

Hi!

I wanted to give VirtualBox a try, but cannot start a VM:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from a different
version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all running
instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software..
VBox status code: -1912 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).

Result Code: 0x80004005
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

jbglaw at spinne:~$ dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
ii  virtualbox-ose                               1.6.2-dfsg-1          x86 virtualization solution - binaries
ii  virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.25-2-686          2.6.25+1.5.6-dfsg-1   PC virtualization solution modules for Linux

Internet searches imply to re-install the upstream package, but since
I'm using the Debian packages, this doesn't seem to be a good idea at
all :)  Anything I can do about it?

Thanks, JBG
