Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.2-dfsg-3
Severity: minor
$ virtualbox
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and
load the module named vboxdrv into your system.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
The virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.25-2-amd64 was installed in the system,
so the prblem with the error message was:
$ lsmod | grep virtual
<empty>
And this was default debian install.
SUGGESTION:
Please improve the error message by suggesting to possibly load
'modprobe virtualbox' in case the package is installed.. And
configuring the /etc/modules to load it at boot.
