Message:

bugref:8414: Linux installer trunk does not remove old VBox modules: remove old generated, as opposed to packaged, host kernel modules in prerm-common, which the .run installer executes before installing. Otherwise it will refuse to set itself up. This is only known to affect the .run installer for the VirtualBox host package.
