Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 1.5.4-dfsg-5 Tags: patch The package is uninstallable if you do not have the 'vboxdrv' kernel module.
This is caused by "/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose stop" returning with a
non-zero exit status if the vboxdrv module does not exist:
case "$1" in
start)
# try to insert module but do not fail if not possible
/sbin/modprobe -q vboxdrv || true
start
;;
stop)
stop
/sbin/modprobe -qr vboxdrv #### fails
;;
restart)
restart
Remember that "modprobe -r" returns 0 if you remove a module that exists
(even if it already was unloaded) and will return 1 if you specify a
missing module.
One solution would be to append " || true" to the "modprobe -qr" line.
