Package: virtualbox-guest-dkms Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Making dpkg-reconfigure on virtualbox-guest-dkms gives the following error: Loading new virtualbox-guest-4.1.18 DKMS files... Building only for 3.2.0-4-amd64 Building initial module for 3.2.0-4-amd64 Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-4-amd64 (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.1.18/build/make.log for more information. The make.log says (full contents of the file attached to the report): [...] CC [M] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.1.18/build/vboxvideo/vboxvideo_drm.o [...] /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox-guest/4.1.18/build/vboxvideo/vboxvideo_drm.c:115:9: error: field name not in record or union initializer It seems this is the same problem that occurred earlier in RHEL: since linux-3.3.0-rc1 drm_driver::fops is a pointer, but this change was backported to erlier versions of the kernel, which the code in vboxvideo_drm.c does not recognize (it tests only wheather LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,3,0)). Indeed, when I replaced the offending file vboxvideo_drm.c with the following downloaded from the internet: https://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/linux/drm/vboxvideo_drm.c and added the following line to it: #define DRM_RHEL63 then the compilation went successfully. I recreated the problem and report it from my virtualbox host system (although installing guest additions in a host system makes little sense), but the errors occurring during installation on the guest system (despite a different architecture: pae instead of amd64) were identical. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (901, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
