Description:
When I tried to install virtualbox, I get the following dependency error.
:: nvidia: requires linux>=3.3

However, I am running a 3.3.0 Linux kernel.

Changing the the paramater in nvidia-295.33-2/desc from:
%DEPENDS%
linux>=3.3

To:
%DEPENDS%
linux>=3.3.0

Resolves the issue.
This task depends upon

you need to enable community-testing.
the issue that are you seeing means that virtualbox-modules wants to downgrade linux package but it can't because nvidia requires linux >= 3.3

Enabling community-testing resolved my issue.
