[Bug 473334] Re: package virtualbox-ose-guest-source 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Summarizing..

running the generic kernel.. with 4GB installed 3GB visible, observe:
choppy sound in virtualbox XP under Ubuntu 9.10 just after upgrade.

In order to install the alsa backports pkg I chose to install a kernel
backports package. I chose the kernel image-pae backports just because
of something stated in some forum somewhere that it was beneficial w.r.t
audio..  though that's questionable. So..

Installed generic-image-pae
Reinstall of virtualbox choked with kernel headers not found. 

Installed the generic-pae pkg and its associated  headers pkg. 
This cleared the virtual-box glitch for missing headers. 

Noticed in synaptic that the kernel image-pae headers hadn't been installed. 
Installed them and the alsa backports at the same time. 

Reinstalled virtualbox again, went to the virtualbox>machine>details tab
and clicked "Audio", selected pulseaudio and now audio works fine in the
virtualbox XP box.

I think the 4 GB and the pae (physical address extension) have nothing
to do with the choppy audio. Generic kernel backports and headers would
probably have worked to solve that. I did stumble over the header files
not coming along with the pae kernel-generic and kernel-generic-image
pkgs.  My user error was installing the pae backports while the base
package for pae hadn't been installed yet, or maybe it was that the
headers didin't come down automatically with  those packages and had to
be manually selected and installed using synaptic. Whatever.. it works
now.
