Hi Gianfranco,

when "kdm" is starting my grafical account I still receive the error 
message "The VirtualBox kernel service is not running. Exiting."

As Ritesh Raj Sarraf mentioned, DSA-3359-1 was not executed completely, 
and after its failure it sent the following message:

"[............]
Job for virtualbox.service failed. See 'systemctl status 
virtualbox.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.
virtualbox-qt (4.3.30-dfsg-1+deb8u1) wird eingerichtet ...

virtualbox-guest-x11 (4.3.30-dfsg-1+deb8u1) wird eingerichtet ...
Neue Version der Konfigurationsdatei 
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient wird installiert ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; 
falling back to defaults
[............]"

How to repair this situation, i.e. how can I reach that all start and 
stop actions are again supported, especially the VirtualBox kernel service?

Sincerely, D.O.
