Repository for debian based systems

Post by villar »

The download page offers the following method of installation from repository.

Debian-based Linux distributions

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. According to your distribution, replace '<mydist>' with 'eoan', 'bionic', 'xenial', 'buster', 'stretch', or 'jessie' (older versions of VirtualBox supported different distributions):


deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian <mydist> contrib
However as we are migrating to debian 11 bullseye, there is no repository targeted to that. Is there any other repository or will buster one be fine as of now? Or will buster repository be available shortly?


Thanks

There is a bullseye repository - I used it last week to upgrade from 6.1.26 to 6.1.28.

Doesn't mention on website. I'll check if changing buster to bullseye just works. If so website need to be updated.
