I just saw a bug in the Dapper package. Please try to execute 'depmod -a'
as root, then try to execute '/etc/init.d/virtualbox start' again.

'make defconfig' should be needed. If 'depmod -a' (see above) is not
successful then try

  make -C /opt/VirtualBox-1.3.2/src install

and then try '/etc/init.d/virtualbox start' again.

We hope that we fixed all these Debian issues in our next packages which
are expected to release soon.

Kind regards,

Frank
