20 Thanks for the heads-up but did you actually report that to our
21 bugzilla so we can include proper fixes in the external modules? did
22 you try to contact the authors of the virtualbox-modules package to
23 let them know as well? Reporting this problem in this mailing list has
24 little value as every user needs to hack the packages on his own to
25 make them work which is not an easy task for people who have not
26 fiddled with ebuilds before
