Greetings! I have been using Devuan Jessie 1.0 Beta2 for
nearly two months. I regularly update the system. Once I had
virtualbox running fine but then removed it. Since then the kernel has
been upgraded at least twice. I have reinstalled virtualbox and all
the components are working except virtualbox-dkms fails to build. This
means there is no vboxdrv driver. Below please find the install
error and the build make log. Advice would be appreciated.

    When attempting to (re)install virtualbox-dkms, here is the
output to the screen:
