This would be the right severity if the bug was reproducible.

Please set your language environment to C before running an application if you
want to paste its output to a bug report. There may be some important
information in it that people simply miss because the don't speak French.

> insserv: exiting now!

This seems to say that you have two initscripts providing service vboxdrv.
Could it be that you have another version installed or leftover files e.g. f
rom Oracle's version.

Please make sure that this one is completely removed and try again.
