[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#696953: virtualbox-source: Virtualbox does not compile with 3.7 kernels

[Isaac Jurado]

Package: virtualbox-source
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1.1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Please send upstream:

The virtualbox-source package, version 4.1.18-dfsg-1.1, fails to build with a
3.7.x kernel.  It complains about an undefined symbol VM_RESERVED.  This
constant was replaced in 3.7, see:
