Package: virtualbox-dkms
Version: 5.1.24-dfsg-2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Installation hangs running "depmod..." and printing a period every few seconds.

ps shows the command being run is:
  depmod -a 4.11.0-1-amd64 -F /boot/System.map-4.11.0-1-amd64

It has been running for over 25 minutes now, but does not appear to be using
any CPU or resources.

Ctrl-C does not stop the installation process.  Sending a kill signal to the
depmod process does not have any effect.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
