Note the packaging from Oracle's site is rather different (and probably incompatible), as everything is included in one package. You are probably better of purging all virtualbox-* packages before moving from one to the other. dpkg --purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt (and any others I didn't include) On 6 November 2014 15:22, Bob <forums@wtaustralia.com> wrote:

Wrong command. Assuming you want to install the version with your OS (distributed as separate packages), You wanted: dpkg --configure virtualbox-dkms dpkg-reconfigure is intended to re-ask debconf questions, not to fix broken packages. Or better yet: dpkg --configure --pending Will try to automatically configure all pending packages. -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
