Package: virtualbox-ext-pack Version: 6.0.6-1 Severity: serious Just what the subject says. Tries to upgrade from 6.0.4-1, and fails. What it's doing there? No idea, looks like it tries to do some checks but stumbles on the results if they are not what it has expected.
The recommendation to install virtualbox-dkms is nonsense. The problems here happens while I trying to get the modules installed with module-assistant. Even if I would use DKMS, the message is nonsense for people who want to install it now but not load the modules yet.
