Bug#906194: addendum
Following the alternative way of downloading from Oracle, as indicated in Debian Wiki guide, the installation process ended with: "vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why." and dmesg tells: "[43186.988394] vboxdrv: Requires SSE2 (cpuid(0).EDX=0x383fbff)". Effectively my CPU features SSE, but not SSE2. Could be that the problem ? Do the recent releases of VBox require SSE2 ? since I could install vers. 1.30 on Stretch 9.4, can I install that on 9.5 ? That seems to be the same problem that prevents me from installing the most recent version of KDE desktop. Which other package is requiring SSE2, and why that is not clearly indicated ? Regards
Bug#906194: virtualbox: fails to install backported VB on Stretch 9.5
Package: virtualbox Version: 5.2.16-dfsg-3~bpo9+2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I tried and install VirtualBox on a clean installation of Stretch 9.5, from Stretch-backports, following the instructions given in Debian Wiki. During the installation I got the following warning: "... Loading new virtualbox-5.2.16 DKMS files... Building for 4.9.0-7-686-pae Building initial module for 4.9.0-7-686-pae Error!

Note that I could install successfully VB on a precedent installation of Stretch 9.4, from the given backport at that time. My (very elementary) knowledge of Linux environment does not allow me to understand the cause of the problem.

Bug#817259: reopen 817259
reopen 817259 I am reopening this bug, because in the meanwhile I read the check instructions given in https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#verify and following the first method suggested (dd command with parameters given by isosize) I could determine that the checksums (md5 and sha1) of all the 3 DVDs are ok. Also the file by file check against the md5sum.txt was ok. I repeated the installation -in expert mode- with different choices for the architecture and/or desktop, but got the same problem. I then tried the installation based only on 1st DVD (3.16.0-4-586+KDE), which went on and concluded without problems, and looks to be working properly. Now, when I try to load some additional applications from DVD2 or 3, I get some "strange" error messages of the type "package .. is already installed and configured", although the procedure looks then to conclude successfully. No idea of where the problem comes from. Thanks for the attention Giuliano Cabrele
Bug#817259: sorry, problem is due to corrupted DVD
Thanks to the help received from "Debian Forum" I could determine that the the 2nd and 3rd DVD had a wrong md5sum, although they passed the integrity check. Sorry for the fake alert, the installer is actually ok, thanks for your work.
