Virtualbox-ose requires 386 kernel image

[Tor Harald Thorland]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

The Virtualbox-OSE requires the 386 linux kernel to be installed. The deps for the virtualbox-ose package does not require that...
It is the modules package that picks the wrong module package.. I'm using the generic image and virtualbox picks the i386 one for some reason...

If you install with sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
it works, but with synaptics or apt-get it "fails" / gets the wrong modules/image

I couldn't reproduce it on a hardy alpha x86_64 amd64 though, it looks like it happens to x86 only:
