It has to satisfy this line in the userspace VirtualBox-OSE.spec
93 Requires: %{name}-kmod = %{version}%{?prereltag}
kmod-foo is the actual kmod, versus
foo-kmod is a virtual "provides" to satisfy dependencies. Each kmod
varient provides it.

Kmods make me cross-eyed sometimes :)
But in Sergio's case, when I install VirtualBox-OSE, it already pulls
in the appropriate kmod- package:
yum install VirtualBox-OSE

Is this ok [y/N]:
Hi, thanks for your help ,
In yours install demo here, you still miss the meta package
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE, in this case
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686
the PAE one is kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-PAE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686
I made some confusion because we built VirtualBox-OSE-kmod.spec, but at
the end the arch rpms are all kmod-VirtualBox-OSE(...)
so:
Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag}
I am testing it now with VirtualBox-OSE-guest and also it should
requires meta package, for better sync with kernels with kmods.
so add also to VirtualBox-OSE-guest ?
Again, if nobody complains, tomorrow I will update packages with
Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag}
Thanks,
