Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-3
Severity: important
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

I'm sorry but this is not a bug. The updated stable system offers you both
kernels and virtualbox modules for both kernels. The system simply takes the
first one available. You are absolutely free to change this selection and the
system should happily accept your choice.
