Simple problem, after a kernel upgrade, virtualbox no longer works. This
is to be expected, of course, BUT ...
How do I fix it !!!
What I always did on my old system was to re-emerge the modules.
The docu says "emerge @module-rebuild".
Both of these terminate with "nothing to rebuild".
What else can I do?

You could try 'emerge @x11-module-rebuild'.
Same result - nothing to rebuild :-(

I’d recommend emerging Virtualbox again. It should just work with emerge @module-rebuild unless Virtualbox isn’t compatible with the newer
version of kernel.

HOW !?!?
The problem is that they are already installed, so any attempt to emerge
them fails with "nothing to emerge".
Unless I do an "emerge -C", but that of course will then break the old
kernel (assuming I might want to go back to it ...)

Strange. try: emerge virtualbox-modules
That should be rebuild after everuy kernel upgrade and that happens
normally with emerge @module-rebuild

emerge pkg should always emerge it, whether it is installed or not. Have
you added anything to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS to alter this behaviour?

That *could* alter it, yes. That I think *would* alter it, no.
--buildpkg --deep --newuse --oneshot --usepkg
Comment that line out, and it works! I'll need to remember that.
Thanks. But why?

Because of "--newuse".
