Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

After Installing virtualbox-ose starting a VM fails with the following 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).

Fehlercode (eng: Error Code):
0x80004005
Komponente:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup fails too, so "tail /var/log/vbox-install.log" returns:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: line 150: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: No such file or directory

Adding the following software source:
http://www.virtualbox.org/debian feisty non-free

and selecting the package virtualbox (1.5.0-24069-1_Ubuntu_feisty) works.

I am using Gutsy, updated to the current release.
