--- Please enter the report below this line. --- Somehow I've managed to have a vboxusers group, which is not system group. In this case, the postrm of virtualbox-ose fails, because /usr/sbin/delgroup --quiet --system vboxusers returns error status 3 and the postrm script uses "set -e". This prevents the package from being purged. The attached patch fixes this, by using "|| true" to ignore the error. -- http://daniel.hahler.de/
