I had this problem too. The kernel module for the old vbox was not present for my current kernel, and then it failed when trying to remove it.
Adding || true to /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose as described by Michael Meskes solved the problem. And I can see that the 1.5.6-1 version contains this fix. However, the bug remains when updating old versions. Can't you change the .prerm script to work around this? It seems that aptitude will automatically try the new .prerm script if the old one fails. -- ...it all depends on the quality of your dreams... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
