So far this does not look really abnormal. When I install Virtualbox, I
always get this error during installation, but after the next reboot, it
works. Have you tried to ignore the errors, reboot and test if
Virtualbox works? Have you setup DKMS properly to automatically build
the module? (On my systems it does this automatically without any
special setup)
On my system it looks like this
[ 0] MAEM masysma-3:~$ dpkg -l | grep virtualbox | cut -c -40
ii virtualbox
ii virtualbox-dkms
ii virtualbox-fuse
ii virtualbox-ose
ii virtualbox-ose-dkms
ii virtualbox-ose-fuse
ii virtualbox-qt
The "ose" packages are no longer necessary.
