[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#499861: virtualbox-ose missing corresponding kernel modules

[Timothy Kong]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I didn't see any other bugs filed for this, so no clue if this is
already being worked on or whatever. This version of virtualbox-ose
was just released today to unstable, seemingly as a fix for bug 499623
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=499623). However, it
doesn't have any corresponding pre-compiled kernel module package like
1.6.2-dfsg-6 does, so it cannot load any virtual machines due to a
version mismatch. From VBox.log:

00:00:00.186 Support driver version mismatch: DriverVersion=0x70002
ClientVersion=0x80000 rc=VERR_VERSION_MISMATCH
00:00:00.186 ERROR [COM]: aRC=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
aIID={d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf} aComponent={Console}
aText={The version of the VirtualBox kernel modules and the version of
VirtualBox application are not matching. You can correct this by
either installing the correct virtualbox-ose-modules package (if
available) through apt-get or by building it manually with:
module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose.
00:00:00.186 VBox status code: -1912
(VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH)} aWarning=false, preserve=false
00:00:00.190 Power up failed (vrc=VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH,
hrc=NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0X80004005))

I'm not using module-assistant, so I just downgraded to 1.6.2 from
lenny for the time being.
