Hi,
I'm running OL8.6 with the latest UEK kernel (5.4.17-2136.310.7.el8uek.x86_64)
I installed VirtualBox and tried to rebuild the modules but it fails:
$akmods --force
Checking kmods exist for 5.4.17-2136.310.7.el8uek.x86_64 [ OK ]
Building and installing VirtualBox-kmod [FAILED]

As you can see it's looking for "kernel-devel" for the UEK kernel, when it should be "kernel-uek-devel":
$rpm -qa|grep uek
kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.310.7.el8uek.x86_64
kernel-uek-devel-5.4.17-2136.310.7.el8uek.x86_64
$rpm -qa|grep Virtual
VirtualBox-kmodsrc-6.1.36-1.el8.noarch
VirtualBox-6.1.36-1.el8.x86_64
VirtualBox-server-6.1.36-1.el8.x86_64
akmod-VirtualBox-6.1.36-1.el8.x86_64
Can someone please pass this along to the developers?
