Install of Beta3 on Fedora 29 fails: nothing provides libvpx.so.4

Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libvpx.so.4()(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.0_BETA3_127054_fedora26-1.x86_64

libvpx is installed on that system - I assume it's the wrong version for VB.

Code: Select all

rpm -qa libvpx
libvpx-1.7.0-7.fc29.x86_64

You could also check

Code: Select all

dnf provides */libvpx.so.4
On Fedora 28 it shows
compat-libvpx4-1.6.1-1.fc28.x86_64

Try the multi-distro installer package of VirtualBox:

This is a known issue with Fedora 29. See comments 5, 6, 7, in ticket #18113.

compat-libvpx hasn't been built for F29 but some said in viewtopic.php?f=7&t=90111 that the package from F28 would work.

Thanks for helping out!
