I saw this during an upgrade to Artful. Deleting
/var/lib/dkms/virtualbox and /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost, then 'aptitude
reinstall virtualbox-dkms' seems to have resolved the problem.

Seriously, this bug is open for almost 6!!! years!!!
Why can't someone figure out why on every kernel update we have to manually run
dkms command to compile VirtualBox, Nvidia and other modules?

To simply remove the files and directories for older versions in
/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost is enough to solve this problem. And it is a bug
in VirtualBox instead of Ubuntu. VirtualBox should purge the older dkms
files everytime when it is installed or reinstalled.

Thanks for the info. I followed your instructions & the message went
away. I had had a lockup of my system, probably caused by the old
kernel modules were stilled being loaded. Hopefully this clears it up.

The same thing happened to me on trusty, amd64 with the latest version

That was a much needed clarification, thx - might it be a good idea to create a
new bug against dkms just with your item (2) ? (and maybe the virtualbox issue
as an example)

You might have some other directories left over from an old version of
virtualbox under /var/lib/dkms/ . For example, I had some directories
left over from 3.2.6, and the fix for me was:
sudo rm -r /var/lib/dkms/vboxnetadp /var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv
/var/lib/dkms/vboxnetflt
Basically you should check

This looks like a bug in the virtualbox package you have installed.
Go to the directory /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost, and make sure to delete any
directories belonging to previous versions of virtualbox that you no
longer have installed.

Someone with this problem, can you please add the following details:
* dkms status
* ls /var/lib/dkms -R
It sounds like some package was not properly cleaning up, most likely
not DKMS's fault directly.
