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. Regards, -- Chris Lamb, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0x634F9A20
