I used strace on apt-get and it attempted to access the following non-
existent files:

   /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.9/source/dkms.conf
   /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_OcRxJk/etc/modprobe.d/dkms.conf

The file   /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.9/build/dkms.conf  DOES exist, but
was NOT accessed.

The file /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/dkms.conf exists and WAS accessed 
successfully, and
it contains the same content as /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.9/build/dkms.conf 
except for PACKAGE_VERSION
(which is older in the latter, not-accessed file).


=> Can someone who know how dkms works comment on this?   Where is the problem 
likely to be?


(I could not see into /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_OcRxJk because that temp dir was 
removed)
