[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#523951: apt-get install virtualbox-ose gets wrong kernel module!

[Deniz Akcal]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-3
Severity: important

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose installs 
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64 instead of 
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 and on the recent update of the 
kernel (2.6.26-2-amd64), you need virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64. 

When you do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose this should be all done 
automatically or even if it isn't supposed to be automatic, it should 
get the right modules package!

The workaround for this is to just get the 
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 package and remove the older one 
before doing sudo modprobe.

I am not sure if this is a duplicate or not, which is why I still filed 
this report but I'll link it to this: Debian Bug #502346
