Hello, there's a major problem when installing virtualbox-ose or virtualbox-ose-guest-utils in Hardy.
These packages each depend on a virtual package (virtualbox-ose-modules and virtualbox-ose-guest-modules). These virtual packages get provided by packages, which themselves depend on linux-image-$ABI-$FLAVOR. Now, when installing virtualbox-ose-guest-utils on a system with the "generic" kernel being used/installed, apt does not recognized that using virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-12-generic would be the better match, but uses the first available "-386" instead. So, when users install virtualbox-ose or the guest modules, they are likely installing an additional kernel image, which isn't required at all and causes confusion/problems on the next boot (e.g. wireless broken). This does not affect users with "generic" kernels on amd64, because there's no 386 flavor available for them. More details are available on: https://launchpad.net/bugs/188579 Any ideas how this can get fixed? Thanks for reading and thinking about it.
