[Bug 239062] Re: postinst: depmod needs version info

[Paul Elliott]

virtualbox-ose-modules in hardy-proposed verified, these are the steps I
took to verify:

HARDY
1. Booted into 2.6.24-21-generic
2. apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-generic
3. Rebooted into 2.6.24-23-generic
4. Attempt to run virtualbox gives:
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
	 Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel,
	 which is likely virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.

	 You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
5. Manually running 'depmod -a' followed by 'modprobe vboxdrv' resolves the problem.

PROPOSED
1. Booted into 2.6.24-21-generic
2. Installed 2.6.24-24-generic kernel from hardy-proposed to test the hardy-proposed version of virtualbox-ose-modules (no 2.6.24-23 version is available)
3. apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-24-generic
4. Rebooted into 2.6.24-24-generic
5. Running virtualbox works successfully.
