You are trying to build virtualbox-kernel 5.0.40 using a later kernel. You need a later version of virtualbox. https://github.com/philmmanjaro/project-sx/issues/2

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having the same issue.
I'm running 14.2 with kernel 4.4.172. I can't get virtualbox-kernel package to build, with the same error message. I was trying to use version 5.0.40 - but I read that it was too old for kernel 4.4.172. However, I tried Virtualbox 6.0.2 and I get the same issue.

Is 4.4.172 really too new for 6.0.2? I didn't think it was a bleeding edge kernel.

virtualbox-kernel has been updated in the last public update, so please use the latest version which has this issue fixed.

updated since 6.0.2? The latest is only 6.0.4

Willy meant that the SlackBuild has been updated on SBo (that was the object of the thread), try that

https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...ualbox-kernel/

Sbo has version 5.0.40 for 14.2 and that has the same issue. It worked fine before the linux kernel update.

Would you like to continue processing the rest of the
queue or would you like to abort? If this failed
package is a dependency of another package in the queue
then it may not make sense to continue.

Did you get the latest build?

Hi - Thanks!

I hadn't synced the database on the sbopkg programme and was getting the old version. Downloaded and built now, so hopefully should work.
