[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#500702: [virtualbox-ose] module-assistant doesn't work for me (also, it is not listed as a dependency)

[Jordi Burguet Castell]

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

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hi,

I read the part of
  module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose
but when I first installed virtualbox-ose I didn't have to do anything
like that, and also it struck me as odd that I should become root and
generate the module myself (I couldn't see any info on this in the
/usr/share/doc/virtualbox-ose/README.Debian.gz). Finally I didn't see
any dependence or recommendation for package "module-assistant" in the
package. Should there not be one?

Apart from this, when I install module-assistant and
virtualbox-ose-source, and run "module-assistant auto-install
virtualbox-ose", it seems to work but afterwards I still have the same
problem ("The version of the VirtualBox kernel modules and the version
of VirtualBox application are not matching [...]").

Either there is a problem or maybe I just don't understand what I am
doing wrong.

Thanks,
jordi
