However: ralf@flounder:~$ ls -l /etc/init.d/vbox* ls: Zugriff auf /etc/init.d/vbox* nicht möglich: No such file or directory i.e. there is no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv not a /etc/init.d/vboxnet Script. When running dpkg -L virtualbox I see, amongst other Files: /etc /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/vboxnet /etc/init.d/vboxdrv However, when checking in aptitude I saw, these Files (vboxnet and vboxdrv) have a size of 0 bytes. I tried to ""install over"" the 1.6, but that didn't change the Status of the vboxdrv/vboxnet Scripts. Also I tried dpkg --configure -a but that didn't perform any actions.
