Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 2.2.2-dfsg-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: origin-ubuntu karmic ubuntu-patch
As reported in https://launchpad.net/bugs/379878:
I've installed virtualbox-2.2, which removed virtualbox-ose and apparently it
created (or only touched) a dangling/wrong symlink:
/usr/src/vboxdrv-2.2.2 -> ../share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv
There might be something in the removal process of one of the
2.2.2-dfsg-2ubuntu1 packages or in the installation of virtualbox-2.2 (from
virtualbox.org), which created (or only touched) this (and caused later
problems when installing virtualbox-ose/virtualbox-ose-source again, which uses
that directory for installation (and caused DKMS to fail)).
I could reproduce this as follows:
1. Remove virtualbox-ose-source
2. Install virtualbox-2.2, this will install a symlink: /usr/src/vboxdrv-2.2.2
-> ../share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv
3. "dpkg -i" virtualbox-ose-source, virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-ose-qt
4. This will install virtualbox-ose-source, _then_ remove virtualbox-2.2 (which
leads to the problem)
Proposed solution:
Make virtualbox-ose-source conflict with the virtualbox.org virtualbox-x
packages.
* virtualbox-ose-source: conflict with virtualbox.org packages
(LP: #379878).
