[Bug 152925] "vboxdrv stop" fails, if virtualbox is not running

[dAniel hAhler]

Public bug reported:

The "stop" action for /etc/init.d/vboxdrv fails, if virtualbox-ose is
not running, because "killall -q VBoxSVC" exits the script (it's "set
-e").

$ LANG=C sudo dpkg -P virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic

The fix is quite simple: just add "|| true" to the line.
