Misleading error message, in case of vboxdrv failure

[Daniel Hahler]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

If the kernel module (vboxdrv.ko) is not loaded, virtualbox-ose fails with this error:
"""
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
"""

This is misleading:
1. Currently there's no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv script (I have a patch provided for this in bug 152376)
2. There would still be no "setup" action, but "start" should get used instead. virtualbox-ose-modules provides the matching driver.

Therefor the error message should refer to virtualbox-ose-modules and the correct startup script action.

I'll provide a debdiff to fix this (and also bug 152386).

Confirmed since patch is available. And subscribing u-u-s.

I've changed the debdiff to also fix bug 152405.

virtualbox-ose (1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Refer to virtualbox-ose-modules in VBox.sh, rather than
    virtualbox-modules. (LP: #152386)
  * Add a patch by dAniel hAhler to change the error message when the
    module isn't loaded. (LP: #152406)
