[solved] Small bug in last kernel? vboxdrv not found with kernel 4.3.3

If I try to load the module vboxdrv with hte kernel 4.3.3 I get the error:

modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.3.3-2-ARCH

pacman -Ql virtualbox-host-modules says:

virtualbox-host-modules /usr/
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/vboxdrv.ko.gz
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/vboxnetadp.ko.gz
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/vboxnetflt.ko.gz
virtualbox-host-modules /usr/lib/modules/extramodules-4.3-ARCH/vboxpci.ko.gz

The kernel is looking in /lib/modules/4.3.3-2-ARCH, but I only have /lib/modules/4.3.3-3-ARCH (and there is a symlink to the extramodules...)

thanks for your answer. Without parameters?

I get this:

depmod: ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/4.3.3-2-ARCH: No such file or directory
depmod: FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory

What is the output of `uname -r` and `pacman -Q linux`?

I missed the last line of the original post

Sorry: I have to reboot. Sorry for the noise.
