[Bug 334528] Re: [Jaunty] virtualbox-ose-source does not find kernel source and thus fails installation

[Daniel Hahler]

The problem is that virtualbox-ose-source depends on "linux-headers-generic | linux-headers".
"linux-headers" is a virtual package, and as far as I know, this needs an alternative in the "Depends". Since linux-headers-generic is used there, you get this installed, although you appear to need linux-headers-386.

Is there a particular reason why you are using the -386 kernel?
Either switch to the -generic kernel, or install linux-headers-386 to make virtualbox-ose-source/DKMS working.
