[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#853878: virtualbox: Virtualbox fails to build module on linux 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

[Fran Glais]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.1.8-dfsg-6~bpo8+2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I use virtualbox from jessie-backports. After upgrading to
linux-image-4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64-unsigned from linux-image-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64,
the dkms module fails to build.

Here is the error message upon running dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms
> DKMS: install completed.
> Building initial module for 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
> Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.9.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
> (x86_64)
> Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.8/build/make.log for more information.

I stay on kernel 4.8 for the moment, as I can't use virtualbox on 4.9.

Regards,
Fran
