[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#541340: virtualbox-ose-source: module package unusable and m-a compiled package older than repository

[Matias Bellone]

Package: virtualbox-ose-source
Version: 2.1.4-dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Installing the module package doesn't allow for starting of virtual machines due to mismatching module and software version.

ii  virtualbox-ose                       2.1.4-dfsg-1
ii  virtualbox-ose-source            2.1.4-dfsg-1

Compiling the driver with m-a results in a package installed that is always suggested for updates with the repository version (which is not usable)

ii  virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-686  2.1.4-dfsg-1+2.6.26-17

And it is updatable to version 2.6.26+1.6.6-dsfg-6+lenny1

But doing so renders virtual machines unusable (see first comment)
