The dkms modules are not installed for new kernel upgrades

[José Alburquerque]

This is not a build failure. It seems to be a simple oversight. What happens is that when there is a kernel upgrade (at least as far as I can tell), the dkms modules don't seem to be automatically installed for the new kernel with the upgrade. When a virtual machine is started it produces run errors. I'm not sure if this is a virtualbox-dkms package error or a kernel package error. I hope it can be resolved.

This is the first run error dialog.

This is the second run error (they both come up one after the other).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This effectively prevents virtualbox usage on Oneiric for average users who don't build their own kernel, etc.

This just stopped my company.

Updating Ubuntu lately is a lottery - almost always sth stops working. :(

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

This should work fine in later releases of Ubuntu. Please retry.
