Virtual Box 5.2 on Ubuntu install not finding dependencies

[vk_]

Hi,

just tried to install Virtual Box on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS . The dep install failes because of many missing dependencies(e.g. Java 9)

Is there a List of depencies needed for VB 5.2 on a Linux Installation ?

Regars,
VK
And no Java 9 is not mentioned with dpkg -i

If you have really used the package for ubuntu 14.04, the deps should fit.

[vk_]

lsb_release -a shows

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty

So I did
sudo apt-get install
./virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431~Ubuntu~trusty_amd64.deb

would that be right ?

And you get what output after your command?
