Public bug reported: This is not a build failure. It seems to be a simple oversight. What happens is that when there is a kernel upgrade (at least as far as I can tell), the dkms modules don't seem to be automatically installed for the new kernel with the upgrade. When a virtual machine is started it produces run errors. I'm not sure if this is a virtualbox-dkms package error or a kernel package error. I hope it can be resolved.
