Package: apt Version: 0.7.20.2 Severity: normal I had filed this as a virtualbox-ose bug but apparently that was the wrong place to file the bug report so here I am posting the same message here from bug #523951:
"sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose installs virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-amd64 instead of virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 and on the recent update of the kernel (2.6.26-2-amd64), you need virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64. When you do sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose this should be all done automatically or even if it isn't supposed to be automatic, it should get the right modules package! The workaround for this is to just get the virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-2-amd64 package and remove the older one before doing sudo modprobe. I am not sure if this is a duplicate or not, which is why I still filed this report but I'll link it to this: Debian Bug #502346" -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "amd64"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Install-Recommends "1"; APT::Install-Suggests "0"; APT::Acquire ""; APT::Acquire::Translation "environment"; APT::Authentication ""; APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true"; APT::NeverAutoRemove ""; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-image.*"; APT::NeverAutoRemove:: "^linux-restricted-modules.*"; APT::Periodic ""; APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1"; APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages "1"; APT::Periodic::AutocleanInterval "0"; APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0"; APT::Update ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success ""; APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success:::: "touch /var/lib/apt/periodic/update-success-stamp 2>/dev/null || true"; APT::Archives ""; APT::Archives::MaxAge "30"; APT::Archives::MinAge "2"; APT::Archives::MaxSize "500"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::sourceparts "sources.list.d"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; Dir::Log "var/log/apt"; Dir::Log::Terminal "term.log"; Unattended-Upgrade ""; Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins ""; Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins:: "Debian stable"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Post-Invoke ""; DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -d /var/lib/update-notifier ]; then touch /var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp; fi"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free #Moblock: deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian lenny main deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian lenny main #Debian Multimedia: deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian-multimedia/ lenny main deb-src http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/debian-multimedia/ lenny main #What is this?
