Description
Whenever a Linux kernel is uninstalled, the Virtualbox modules that were installed for it remain behind. e.g.
$ find /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/ /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/ /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/misc /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/misc/vboxnetflt.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/misc/vboxnetadp.ko /lib/modules/3.2.0-27-generic/misc/vboxpci.ko
This should be simple to rectify with some kind of hook for the right event with the system's package manager.
