    virtualbox ose unmet dependencies: is it just me?

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

      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.
