[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#586818: virtualbox-ose-dkms is installed, but VirtualBox says it's missing

[Daniel Olops]

Package: virtualbox-ose-dkms
Version: 3.2.4-dfsg-1~bpo50+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Today, after an update of the virtualbox-ose-dkms package, virtualbox-ose stopped working. The prior version was 3.1.4-dfsg-1~bpo50+1, now is 3.2.4-dfsg-1~bpo50+1, but virtualbox-ose still remains at 3.1.4.

On the graphical interface, when I start a virtual machine, it throws the following exception:
----
Title: VirtualBox - Error In supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime
Text: RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
      Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root.
----

But the driver _is_ loaded:
----
ct000267:/var/log/apt# lsmod | grep vbox
vboxnetflt             14760  0
vboxnetadp              6400  0
vboxdrn               179080  2 vboxnetflt,vboxnetadp

ct000267:/var/log/apt# /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose status
VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are loaded.

Here's the output of the installation of virtualbox-ose-dkms:

I think it's necessary to update virtualbox-ose to 3.2.4, but it's not in the repository.

Daniel
