Description:
Old kernel modules (in /lib/modules) break dkms for virtualbox host module even for new, working kernel.

(I keep modules and old kernel images for system rescue, but I didn't think to keep old header files)

Additional info:
community/virtualbox 5.0.16-3 [installed]
community/virtualbox-host-dkms 5.0.16-3 [installed]
core/linux 4.4.5-1 (base) [installed]
core/linux-headers 4.4.5-1 [installed]
extra/dkms 2.2.0.3+git151023-8 [installed]

Steps to reproduce:
* unpack /lib/modules/4.3.3-2-ARCH/ from old kernel package
* pacman -S virtualbox-host-dkms

dkms fails with "Kernel 4.3.3-2-ARCH headers are missing. Nothing will be done for this kernel!"
dkms is *NOT* built for 4.4.5-1-ARCH
package installation succeeds

IMO dkms should not stop after 1st kernel, it should try to build for each entry in /lib/modues

This task depends upon

hook script is dkms stuff, not vbox related. I moving this to right section.

Script is currently running dkms for each installed kernel with headers. It doesn't stop when one fails.

Funny, that's exactly what I see -- one "bad" kernel prevents generation of vbox...ko.gz for good kernels.

Would you at least paste the output of pacman (or the pacman log) regarding this.

This is how it looks with an extra, "bad" kernel "detected" via /lib/modules

ok I saw the mistake, there is a return instead of a continue.
