I guess the modules packages for 2.6.24-10 will be released soon.
But still, the original bug remains:
When installing virtualbox-ose (with apt-get or aptitude), to resolve the dependency on the virtual package virtualbox-ose-modules, virtualbox-ose-modules-(version)-386 is installed _and_ the whole -386 kernel.
The following packages provide virtualbox-ose-modules:
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-386
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-rt
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-virtual
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-generic
virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-8-server
Why does apt(itude) chose -386, implying the installation of the whole -386 kernel when it could simply pick the module for the current (-generic) one?
And it becomes even stranger: if instead of installing virtualbox-ose, you type aptitude install virtualbox, aptitude suggests to install the -gereic module!
(apt-get install virtualbox results as previously in installation of the -386 module and kernel)
But there is no such package with the name virtualbox. It is a virtual package, provided by virtualbox-ose.
Why doeas aptitude suggest a different 'modules' package?
Are there any package priorities, and when yes, how can someone tweak them?
