virtualbox-5.1 for Debian squeeze?

Post by flaxfrax »

Hi,

Pointing apt to "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian stretch contrib" does not provide the virtualbox-5.1 packet ... and for jessie and wheezy it has dependencies to older major versions of packets that is no longer in in squeeze (e.g. libpng12-0 which is replaced with libpng16-16).

When will there be a packet for stretch available?

TIA,
/frax

(as a workaround one can obviously add the jessie sources and install the jessie packets, removing the jessie sources again afterwards ... but would still be nice with a stretch packet)

Me stupido!

I added squeeze (not stretch) to the sources ... THERE IS A PERFECTLY VALID STRETCH packet available ... just ignore me ... sorry for the confusion!
