[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#573612: virtualbox-ose: Cannot get virtualbox 3 to work using lenny-backports on i386

[Harry William Bullen IV]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-3
Severity: important


The Virtualbox-ose package in lenny-backports is version 3.0.12 on the 
i386, however there are no matching module, dkms, or source version.  
This makes the virtualbox-ose 3 unusable.  I can still use 
virtualbox-ose 1.6.6 from lenny fine.  I think this should be fixed by 
getting virtualbox-ose one i386 up to 3.1.4 or if that can't easily 
be done by providing 3.0.12 versions of virtualbox-ose-dkms or
 virtualbox-ose-source.  If neither solution can be quickly implemented 
a notice should be placed in the package informing users of lenny on
i386 not to use virtualbox-ose 3 and instead use only 1.6.6 packages.
