--- Begin Message ---Package: virtualbox-dkms Version: 5.0.20-dfsg-2 Severity: grave When I start virtualbox, I get WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate headers, most likely linux-headers-amd64. The package is actually installed, but the following message was issued: Setting up virtualbox-dkms (5.0.20-dfsg-2) ... Loading new virtualbox-5.0.20 DKMS files... First Installation: checking all kernels... Building only for 4.1.0-1-amd64 Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel headers for this kernel do not seem to be installed. But, as you can see, I'm running 4.1.0-1-amd64... So what is the problem?

I'm closing this bug, because I get many similar bugs and they all have the same solution, so I guess this will be the same (feel free to reopen with some logs if you think this isn't the case) G.
