[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#596945: [virtualbox-ose-dkms] dkms always fails on kernel upgrades

[Emil Langrock]

Package: virtualbox-ose-dkms
Version: 3.2.8-dfsg-2
Severity: normal

I have different dkms kernel module sources. All upgrades fine but the 
virtualbox one fails on an kernel upgrade. When I reinstall the virtualbox-
ose-dkms it works fine, but not on kernel upgrades.

The autobuild could be started using:

/usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start 2.6.32-5-amd64


The output of syslog is:

dkms_autoinstaller: virtualbox-ose (3.1.0): Unable to locate 
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-ose/3.1.0/source/dkms.conf
dkms_autoinstaller:  DKMS tree must be manually fixed

I would guess that virtualbox didn't correctly removed the files of 3.1.0 and 
so a new package must cleanup the old files. After manual removing of those 
files it works as expected on kernel upgrades
