Bug Description

I was installing "virtualbox-dkms" with apt-get at the terminal, and suddenly the terminal wrote:

Loading new virtualbox-4.1.12 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 3.13.0-32-generic
Building initial module for 3.13.0-32-generic
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.13.0-32-generic (i686)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/build/make.log for more information.
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel modules
* No suitable module for running kernel found
[fail]
invoke-rc.d: initscript virtualbox, action "restart" failed.

----

It was strange for me, because normally, when I install "virtualbox-dkms", there are no errors, but now there are some.
I hope, that they aren't fatal errors, which will cause the system to crash... but I also hope, that you, or the VirtualBox-team, can fix those errors.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (Release: 12.04), and the version of the defective program (virtualbox-dkms) is "4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.6".
