[Bug 1844805] Re: virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms, virtualbox-qt fail during upgrade from 19.04 to 19.10

[Brian Murray]

do-release-upgrade contains the following code:

190   if os.path.exists('/var/run/reboot-required.pkgs'):
191     reboot = False
192     with open('/var/run/reboot-required.pkgs', 'rb') as f:
193         for line in f:
194             if line == b'libc6\n':
195                 reboot = True
196                 break
197     if reboot:
198       if not options.quiet:
199         print(_("You have not rebooted after updating a package which "
200                 "requires a reboot. Please reboot before upgrading."))
201       sys.exit(1)

It sounds like we should be for checking something else in the reboot-
required.pkgs file. What would that be?

Title:
  virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms, virtualbox-qt fail during upgrade from
  19.04 to 19.10

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in virtualbox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I upgraded this morning from 19.04 to 19.10 with `do-release-upgrade
  -d` and the upgrade reported that virtualbox, virtualbox-qt, and
  virtualbox-dkms encountered problems during the upgrade.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled them after rebooting and saw this:

  ```
  ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-5.0.0-29-generic is not supported
  Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.0.0-29-generic (x86_64)
  Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/6.0.12/build/make.log for more information.
  ```

  I think this means the version of virtualbox in 19.10 doesn't want to
  compile against a 19.04 kernel?

  The problem with this, of course, is that everyone who upgrades from
  19.04 to 19.10 is going to have a 19.04 kernel installed during the
  upgrade (and afterward, since one old kernel is saved), so the upgrade
  will fail for everyone with virtualbox installed. I think this needs
  to be fixed?
