Description Ihar Hrachyshka 2012-01-27 10:43:30 UTC

Now that we have gentoo-sources-3.2.1-r2 stabilized for popular archs (amd64 etc.) the current stable app-emulation/virtualbox-modules package fails to build.

See: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400871

So please stabilize any virtualbox-modules version which would build with latest kernels properly.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Israel G. Lugo 2012-01-28 18:18:36 UTC

Agreed.

For further information please see bug 389953, of which 400871 is a duplicate.

We first need a fix for bug #399807 before we can stabilize any newer version.

Comment 3 Jared B. 2012-02-02 13:55:42 UTC

It looks like this bug applies to all versions of 4.1.x, which means it affects the current stable version of vbox as well.  However, 4.1.4 cannot be used with the current stable kernel, whereas 4.1.8 can.  I don't think stabilizing 4.1.8, which fixes aa very obvious application-breaking problem (after an emerge -u world), should be held up because of a separate bug that affects both versions.  Granted, bug 399807 should be addressed as soon as possible, but given the circumstances it shouldn't be considered a blocker for this.

Comment 4 Ihar Hrachyshka 2012-02-12 13:09:33 UTC

So stable virtualbox is broken in the tree for several weeks. Any obstacles to fix this issue? As Jared said, there is no reason to wait until another bug is fixed.

virtualbox-4.1.8 is finally stable...
