[Bug 452374] Re: package virtualbox-ose-source 3.0.8-dfsg-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[kewerner]

After upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04, VBox stops with errors ("virtualbox-ose-sources" blabla).

When trying to re-install virtualbox-ose-sources, the error message
"cannot detect kernel sources in ../build or ../sources" comes up:
