[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] virtualbox-dkms broken in testing as of today?

[oijjjio at autistici.org]

Hi,

I just ran an update on debian testing, which gave me kernel version
4.11.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.11.6-1 (2017-06-19). virtualbox-dkms now
fails which gave me the compiler errors listed at the bottom of this
mail. On the vb forums someone suggested that 5.1.10 might not be able
to handle a 4.11 kernel, so I tried to pull vb from unstable which has
version 5.1.22, but this also fails to build the kernel module on debian
at the moment (see:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-virtualbox-devel/2017-July/006506.html).

So currently, debian testing users might no longer be able to use
virtualbox except for this workaround for the unstable version:
https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-rc@lists.debian.org/msg466819.html

I just tried the workaround and can confirm it works.

thanks in advance for looking into it,
dennis
