I guess I should have posted my step-by-step, but wasn't sure if all of
it was necessary. This is what I did:
urpmi virtualbox
(I took note of all the packages there were going to be installed
and manually installed everything but virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms and
virtualbox-doc
Downloaded the current VB packages, including the extension pack
Ran urpmi virtualbox*rpm, but it complained about python 2.6, so I did a
symlink to the 2.7 version
Ran urpmi virtualbox*rpm, but it complained about libcrypto, so I
created another symlink to the 1.1.0 version
ran urpmi --allow-force, to allow me to select Y to install package anyway.
At that point, it compiled the vboxdrv and I was able to install the
extension pack.
