Virtualbox can't reconfigure ose-dkms against latest linux-headers

Virtualbox can't reconfigure ose-dkms against latest linux-headers

 Virtualbox ain't working for quite some time now. Last time it worked was 
when I booted with 3.19.8.1. 

Currently on up to date  4.1.6.1 force reconfigure fails against all 
kernels. 

xbps-query -l | grep header shows I have 3.19.8.1, 4.0.9.1 and 4.1.6.1 
installed. Is this a conflict and shall I just leave the latest version in 
order to sort it out ?

Could you provide the output or an error message?
For me its working with all installed kernel versions:

Unsure how to do it manually and where eventually the log file would be. 
There is no vbox folder in var/log.

Sounds like another side effect of the /usr/sbin transition. Juan's 
suggestion helped with my nvidia problem 
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/voidlinux/iZXamHmohQ4>, it might 
work for you as well. Make sure your /usr/sbin directory is a symlink to 
/usr/bin before you do anything else.

Thanks so much to all who gave feedback in both threads, that fixed it. I 
somehow missed following the nvidia thread till it's very end, Virtualbox 
working, might as well try to make nvidia work :)
