Any update? The package is still broken from here. I can see updates

on testing, but nothing on stable-bpo.


Gianfranco, did you have the change to push the patch? Thanks!

Bug#895782: virtualbox-dkms: Cannot compile kernel modules against kernel 4.15

[Martin Duspiva]

Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 5.1.30-dfsg-1~bpo9+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The VB 5.1.30 module vboxdrv cannot compile with the strertch-backport kernel 
4.15.0-0.bpo.2-amd64. The compile finises with error:

/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.30/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:
In function ‘VBoxHost_RTTimerCreateEx’:
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/5.1.30/build/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/timer-r0drv-linux.c:1588:13:
error: implicit declaration of function 
‘init_timer_pinned’[-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]  
init_timer_pinned(>aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer);

VB's developers released patch for running on kernel 4.15:
https://www.virtualbox.org/pipermail/vbox-dev/2017-December/014885.html

Could you please include it to the package?
