Package: virtualbox-dkms Version: 5.2.24-dfsg-4 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
after an upgrade from 5.2.22-dfsg-2 to 5.2.24-dfsg-2 I can't install kernel images any more: root@neocortex:~# LANG=C apt-get -f install Reading package lists...

Manually removing the /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.2.22/ directory solves the problem.
