Error while installing virtualbox
Solution 1:
This (french) article describes the same error on Debian : Virtualbox & vboxdrv.
The solution there was to delete two files and reinstall Virtualbox as follows
rm -r /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
rm -r /var/lib/update-rc.d/vboxdrv
apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-qt
The article also lists a solution that works for Fedora :
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
A comment later remarks that apt-get purge virtualbox
should have been used
instead of apt-get remove
, which would have also removed the init script,
so maybe this is the real cause of your problem, that can be solved simply by doing purge
.
