In fact - that is what worked for me. I tried re-installing
virtualbox-ose-dkms several times to no effect.
I have no idea what causes the problem, I now only what fixed it for me.

Do you know what is the cause? Do you consider this problem "solved"?

Subject: virtualbox-ose-dkms: fails to build kernel module - I found a
solution
Package: virtualbox-ose-dkms
Version: 3.2.10-dfsg-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


Virtualbox-ose fails to start a virtualmachine due to lack of
virtualbox kernel module.
"modprobe vboxdrv" returns "FATAL: module not found".
Package virtualbox-ose-dkms was installed but no module was built
during the installation. However the package didn't report an error
upon installation.
I installed virtualbox-ose-source and re-installed
virtualbox-ose-dkms. Now virtualbox-ose-dkms really built a module for
the kernel and installed it.
Virtualbox-ose runs virtual machiens fine. The problem is fixed.

I suggest to make virtualbox-ose-source a dependency of
virtualbox-ose-dkms (which is a dependency of virtualbox-ose, right?).
That should fix the problem.

Best regards - unfa.
