Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
- upgrading debian 6

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
- running virtual box fails (can't run a virtual environment) because the vb
module isn't compiled
- tried to find linux-headers-3.2.0-2-amd64 to install but couldn't -
virtualbox can't compile the modules without having the linux headers that
match the linux version.


   * What was the outcome of this action?
- virtualbox won't run properly

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
- virtualbox to run properly
