As maintainer of VirtualBox on openSUSE, I would like to know how to prevent this in the future. My understanding of the build process is rather rudimentary.
The "proper" fix would be to reintroduce the ksym() dependencies, i.e. make the KMPs depend on the kernel ABI checksums rather than the kernel release string.
Which leads to another question: why do we still fight with kabi in opensuse when we don't leverage from that?
Sidenote: if we don't use kabi, we can drop it and can update to higher major kernel versions easier, if needed (e.g. once, to the next longterm stable).
FWIW, I update all KMPs with all 13.2 updates. This is a bit tedious. I did not include virtualbox, as we had a parallel upgrade of it in the queue. I however now started a virtualbox update which should be built against the current kernel.
