Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 3.1.4-dfsg-1~bpo50+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi,

I cannot use virtualbox-ose-guest-utils to mount shared folder on my amd64 machine.

Steps:

$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils  
...
$ sudo modprobe vboxvfs  
WARNING: Error inserting vboxguest (/lib/modules/2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxguest.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting vboxvfs (/lib/modules/2.6.30-bpo.1-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxvfs.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Where dmesg reports:

[172312.974490] vboxguest: exports duplicate symbol RTMemExecFree (owned by vboxdrv)
[172312.975058] vboxvfs: Unknown symbol VBoxGuestIDCCall
[172312.975464] vboxvfs: Unknown symbol VBoxGuestIDCOpen
[172312.975812] vboxvfs: Unknown symbol VBoxGuestIDCClose

I believe this could be related to:
