Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose
The following error message should refer to virtualbox-ose-modules, not
virtualbox-modules:
$ sudo modprobe -r vboxdrv
$ virtualbox
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-modules package for your kernel.
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
While this is only cosmetic, it can help to avoid a lot of confusion.
I'll provide a debdiff to fix this.
