[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#625742: virtualbox-ose: vbox error packagin & soved : exports duplicate symbol; package conflicts missing!!!

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1
Severity: serious

the sid virtualbox-ose package missing conflicts procedures in dkms and/or
source packages for modules, when compiles and install, at start or load
modules into kernel put this message to stdout and dmesg filter said:

[ 5594.948928] vboxdrv: Found 2 processor cores.
[ 5594.949384] vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x249 offMax=0x1159c2
[ 5594.949429] vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is
'normal'.
[ 5594.949431] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 4.0.4_OSE (interface
0x00160000).
[ 5594.958540] vboxguest: exports duplicate symbol RTMemFreeEx (owned by
vboxdrv)

and searching i note that previously instalation of similar
virtualbox-ose-dkms or (guest-dkms) packages do not remove by mistake the
old vboxguest module (dkms in previous compilation then removed), and then
obviously try to load at same time
as vboxdrv and netfilter brigde.

after rm -f  /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/*guest* situation solves! and
virtualboxworks!

as can note, in debian system information virtualbox-guest-additions was not
instaled, was instaled and then i removed later, so
theres no confusion on this bug that are quite necesary to fix, due many
sites cite as
build error and only its a package mistake.

SOLUTION SOLVED:

adde conflicts in virtualbox-xxxx-xxxx-source packages templates, in the
files control.modules.in and this prevent and handle part of solution, also
maybe a rm command on pre-install for for the presence of modules are not
removed by dkms posr-remove script at uninstalll thems, due they can have
problems with the "source" and generated from virtualbox-ose-xxx-source
modules packages!

i hope this help
