installing the virtualbox-dkms automagically does that.
are you sure you are running the 4.2.1 kernel=

you don't need any virtualbox-ose, and I'm not even sure why the package is there.
also the virtualbox-guest* packages, they are needed for the guest for the host.

this is what you need ^^^^

where did you get this information?
I mean, you are *not* supposed to even read that string, was it output of some virtualbox window?
>Sorry
no need to be sorry, if there is a bug we should fix it, so thanks for the report :)
btw can you please try a apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-dkms and apt-get install virtualbox-dkms and post the log here?
you should see something like:
Setting up virtualbox-dkms (5.0.4-dfsg-4) ...
Loading new virtualbox-5.0.4 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 3.16.0-4-amd64

Setting up virtualbox (5.0.4-dfsg-4) ...
I'm also interested in a file similar to
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.0.4/3.16.0-4-amd64/x86_64/log/make.log
(just change the kernel version, virtualbox version and architecture accordingly)
output of
"ls /dev/vbox*"
/dev/vboxdrv /dev/vboxdrvu /dev/vboxguest /dev/vboxnetctl /dev/vboxuser
/dev/vboxusb
and
"lsmod |grep vbox"
vboxpci 23078 0
vboxnetadp 25443 0
vboxnetflt 27648 0

thanks a lot,
