Just like the message says vboxdrv.ko is a part of both virtualbox-2.1
and virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-386 modules. Try removing the
later before installing the former. You can do it like this:
sudo apt-get remove virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-386

I have been using Innotek Virtualbox version 1.5.6 successfully for
a long time, on Ubuntu 8.0.4
Yesterday I decided to upgrade to version 2.1-2.1., since it was in
Synaptics.
After selecting the download and proceeded to apply, Synaptic asked
me to remove vs 1.5.6 first
before installing 2.1-2.1, I agreed to apply.
The download went on and started the installation when mid way it
stopped and the following Error
poped out:"Error were encountered while processing: E: /var/cache/
apt/archives/virtualbox-2.1_2.1.2-41885%5fUbuntu%5fhardy_i386.deb:
trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.24-23-386/misc/vboxdrv.ko',
which is also in package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-386"
I couldnt understand why using Synaptic Package I was getting an
error so I searched Ubuntu Forums and I found this Link:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-virtualbox-21-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex804-hardy-heron.html
I followed all steps and I reached to : sudo apt-get install
virtualbox-2.1
which proceeded until...

It seems to me the same error, which I really dont understand.
I lost version 1.5.6 and I am left with an error.
Can I have help please.
Much Obliged,
Victor
