Has anyone installed virtual-box ? I have tried the repositories but it will not install, I get a lot of dependencies errors. When I try to install the dependencies to satisfy the requirements, I get even more errors. I have been chasing dependency errors for two days and I still haven't gotten to the solution yet. Has anyone else had these problems ? Has anyone got virtual-box to work on LMDE ?

I am running Linux Mint Debian Edition 201204. My repositories are:

Code: Select all: deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian import main upstream deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing contrib non-free main deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates contrib non-free main deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing non-free main deb-src http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free deb-src http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import

Any ideas ?

hi,
what is the output of

Code: Select all: apt update && apt dist-upgrade

also

Code: Select all: apt policy virtualbox

and finally

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get -s install virtualbox

(this will only perform a dry-run)

Hmmmmmmm, how come the dry run worked ? I got think on that one.

not a problem
try now without the -s switch

Code: Select all: sudo apt-get install virtualbox

by **scotthge** on Sat Nov 17, 2012 6:09 pm

I have no idea why it didn't work before. :?:

I got more errors than I could shake a stick at, Everything seem to install ok but I did get this error which I did get before.
No suitable module for running k[FAIL found ... failed! failed!
I don't know what I was doing wrong but I must have been doing something.

Thank You zerozero,
