I just got the same error with an up-to-date kernel and virtualbox:
shankao@maldita:~$ dpkg -l virtualbox* | grep ii
ii virtualbox 5.1.16-dfsg-1 amd64 x86
virtualization solution - base binaries
ii virtualbox-dkms 5.1.16-dfsg-1 all x86
virtualization solution - kernel module sources for dkms
ii virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 5.1.16-1 all guest additions
iso image for VirtualBox
ii virtualbox-qt 5.1.16-dfsg-1 amd64 x86
virtualization solution - Qt based user interface
shankao@maldita:~$ uname -a
Linux maldita 4.10.0-11-generic #13-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 1 21:27:28 UTC 2017
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
shankao@maldita:~$
After running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms" and rebooting,
it's back working again.
With previous kernels, the vbox module was being rebuilt correctly.
Answering to some previous comment's questions:
"Do you have some manual kernel installed, or did you delete the
triggers doing the rebuild automatically?"
No manual kernels, no trigger removal unless some package upgrade did
it. How can I check if it's in place?
** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
