Public bug reported:
Summary:
On install I get an error message about an invalid group, which seems incorrect.
The actual problem is the /dev device is not created.
Possibly because there is a missing 'modprobe' call?
Here's what actually happened:
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
(nothing to do)
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox
...
The following extra packages will be installed:
libxalan110 libxerces27 virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
...
