[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#762061: virtualbox-dkms fails to build on standard 3.14.15 kernel

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Control: reassign -1 dkms
Control: retitle -1 dkms should pull in the correct linux-headers package


Thanks Ben. Omar: This bug is specific to dkms. That package should pull 
in the correct linux-headers package (based on the architecture), which 
is required to build the virtualbox-dkms package.
