[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#636572: virtualbox not working on new Testing install

[clayton]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.0.10-dfsg-1
Severity: important


This is a machine that tracks Testing, which I installed in the last few days. Whenever I try to 
start a virtualbox machine, I get the error:

"Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root."

But, virtualbox-ose-dkms *is* installed:

$ wajig list-installed | grep virtualbox
virtualbox
virtualbox-dkms
virtualbox-guest-additions
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose-dkms
virtualbox-ose-qt
virtualbox-ose-source
virtualbox-qt
virtualbox-source

Further, so are the headers:

$ uname -a
Linux x60s 2.6.39-2-686-pae #1 SMP Tue Jul 5 03:48:49 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Lin

$ wajig list-installed | grep header
linux-headers-2.6.39-2-686-pae
linux-headers-2.6.39-2-common

but dkms still does seem to have been triggered to build a vboxdrv module:

$ modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
