retitle 554385 virtualbox-ose-source does not compile using m-a
thanks
Hi
It seems there was indeed some stale source lying around
in /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose (though I do not know how it got
there, I can remember doing something manually). After your post, I
realised that when running "m-a a-i vboxdrv" I got the following error
messages before the build dialog appeared:
Getting source for kernel version: 2.6.31-1-amd64
Kernel headers available in /lib/modules/2.6.31-1-amd64/build
apt-get install build-essential

upgraded.
Done!
unpack
The source tarball could not be found!
Package virtualbox-ose-source not installed?
Running "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose-source" may help.
"/usr/share/modass/packages/default.sh" build KVERS=2.6.31-1-amd64
KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.31-1-amd64/build KDREV=2.6.31-1 kdist_image
As suggested I then ran "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose-source" and it did
build the virtualbox modules automatically and successfully.
I tried to run "m-a a-i virtualbox-ose-source" again and got the same
error as before. I then removed the /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose
directory manually and it didn't reappear (neither by running aptitude
install virtualbox-ose-source nor "m-a -f get virtualbox-ose-source").
So it seems the source required for m-a is not available any more? With
the directory removed "m-a a-i" produces the following error
