[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#800077: virtualbox: Cannot install 5.0.4-dfsg-3 with just modules

[Itaï BEN YAACOV]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.4-dfsg-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I cannot upgrade from 5.0.4-dfsg-2 to 5.0.4-dfsg-3 since the latter pre-depends on
virtualbox-dkms | virtualbox-source which poses two problems
1. These are not available at version 5.0.4-dfsg-3 . I assume this will be solved but
   I will still not be able to upgrade since I do not want any of the two installed :
2. They are not even necessary - virtualbox-modules is sufficient.  It makes no sense
   to require users to install kernel sources (or headers) in order to run virtualbox.

Cheers,
Itai.
