Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
This looks similar to a number of other bugs, but none of them seem to
be exactly the same problem.
When installing the package "virtualbox-ose" using "sudo apt-get install
virtualbox-ose", the installation fails with this error:
Error! Your kernel source for kernel 2.6.31-16-server cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.31-16-server/build or /lib/modules/2.6.31-16-server/source.
dpkg: error processing virtualbox-ose-source (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
virtualbox-ose-source
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I solved this by installing "linux-headers-$(uname -r)". Therefore,
"linux-headers" should be a dependency of "virtualbox-ose". Examining
the package info for "linux-headers" shows that "virtualbox-ose-source"
does depend on it, and "virtualbox-ose" depends on "virtualbox-ose-
source", but somehow this is not enough.
