Same problem, Intrepid pidgin can't connect to ICQ anymore.

Some days ago I got the ability to connect to my home computer from the workplace (got external IP), so I decided to set up an SSH server.

Kernel module may also be obtained by compiling it from sources (that exist in the repository - search for "virtualbox" in synaptic). For me that worked fine.
