virtualbox ose unmet dependencies: is it just me?

[jankushka]

hi everybody.
i'm trying to install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.
but my hardy says there's some unmet dependencies.
here...

root# apt-get install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-generic
Reading package lists... Done
...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-ose-modules-generic: Depends: virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

"virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-20-generic" depends on "linux-image-2.6.24-20-generic".
i have linux-image installed.
and that resolves to linux-image-generic.
which in turn resolves to linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic.
which is the latest kernel i see in my repos.
here...

root# dpkg-query -l '*linux-image*'
...
ii linux-image
un linux-image-2.6
pn linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic
pn linux-image-2.6.24-17-generic
ii linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
ii linux-image-generic

now virtualbox wants -20.
but i don't have it.

here's my repos file...

root# cat /etc/apt/sources.list

is it just me?
is it something broken?
or is it just bad luck and bad timing?

thanks in advance.

ps:
i've installed the -19 modules directly and installed vboxdrv and all.
everything works well.
very well, actually.
with vt support this thing really works great!

Re: virtualbox ose unmet dependencies: is it just me?

thanks.
as posted, i had done that already
my question was why does virtualbox depend on a kernel i don't see.
is it something wrong with my config?
or is it something wrong with the dependencies of virtualbox?

I missed that in your original post. In answer to your second question, I don't know. My problem is I have to get a new copy of XP to mount in the thing, because I used an old copy from another computer I own, but I can't activate it. But it installed just fine, and worked great. But I have to get "legal". I need a full retail copy, not an OEM copy.
