[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#478373: virtualbox-ose-guest-source: fails to build against kernel 2.6.25

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-source
Version: 1.5.6-dfsg-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

While virtualbox-ose-source builds, and works, well with kernel 2.6.25, 
virtualbox-ose-guest-source fails with the following error message:

LANG= m-a --kvers-list $(uname -r) --kernel-dir /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)/ --userdir /tmp/pkg/ --text-mode build virtualbox-ose-guest-source

Taking a look at SUN's/ Innotek's upstream svn suggests r7550 to fix this 
issue and rediffing it against virtualbox-ose 1.5.6-dfsg-6 (+fixing the 
version comparison to <2.6.25, instead of <2.4.25) indeed fixes this issue.

Successfully build- and runtime tested on i386 with kernel 2.6.24.5 and 
2.6.25 (amd64 and i386 host). The attached "02-2.6.25_part2.dpatch" is 
supposed to be applied in addition to the already existing 
"02-2.6.25.dpatch" (which just covers virtualbox-ose-source).
