[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#559502: virtualbox-ose: dkms postinst querys source package for the upstream version

[Patrick Matthäi]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 3.1.0-dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch

Hello,

with your new virtualbox-ose-dkms package you are querying the modul version
in your postinst like following:
 dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' virtualbox-ose-source | awk -F "-" '{print $1}' | cut -d\: -f2

This is the wrong package. It has to look like this:
 dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' virtualbox-ose-dkms | awk -F "-" '{print $1}' | cut -d\: -f2

Your postinst fails if -source isn't installed (which isn't needed).

So this line just has to be changed.
