Package: virtualbox-ose-dkms
Version: 3.2.6-dfsg-2
Severity: important
Tags: ipv6

Error dialog: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose-dkms_3.2.6-dfsg-
2_all.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 5

Synaptic gives this every time I try to install virtualbox-ose-dkms; however,
on another machine (laptop) the virtualbox-ose and all dependencies including
virtualbox-ose-dkms installs without problem.

I don't have a patch ... I accidentally selected an item in the 'reportbug'
utility and was unable to 'un-select' the 'i have a patch' item.  Sorry about
that.
