Description
uname -a: Linux master-1.fios-router.home 5.8.15-201.fc32.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 15 15:56:44 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Installed: kernel-devel.x86_64 ver 5.8.15-201.fc32
kernel-headers.x86_64 ver 5.8.11-200.fc32 VirtualBox-6.1.x86_64 ver 6.1.16_140961_fedora32-1 gcc.x66_64 ver 10.2.1-5.fc32
All packages installed via dnf from the appropriate repositories.
vboxconfig fails. Log: Building the main VirtualBox module. Building the net filter module. Building the net adaptor module. Building the PCI pass-through module. Error building the module: make: * No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.
I suspect that the underlying cause is that the version of kernel-headers doesn't match the exact version of the kernel. However, the fedora-32 repositories don't contain a package named kernel-headers-5.8.15; kernel-headers-5.8.11 is the most recent. Any other info you need? Any suggestions?
Note: if the problem is indeed associated with the version of kernel-headers, it will persist under fedora 33. I just upgraded, and the installed kernel-headers is still version 5.8.11 as opposed to the kernel and kernel-devel versions of 5.8.16.
