Hello.
I had Ubuntu 1.6 running on Ubuntu 8.10 AMD64 version. I uninstalled VirtualBox via "apt-get remove", and now, whan I try to install v2.1 I get dependencies problems (sorry, my Ubuntu Version is in Spanish, but you can read the 3 missing packages):

virtualbox-2.1 ya está en su versión más reciente.
Tal vez quiera ejecutar `apt-get -f install' para corregirlo:
Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas:
virtualbox-2.1: Depende: libqt4-network (>= 4.4.3) pero no es instalable
Depende: libqtcore4 (>= 4.4.3) pero no es instalable
Depende: libqtgui4 (>= 4.4.3) pero no es instalable
E: Dependencias incumplidas. Intente 'apt-get -f install' sin paquetes (o especifique una solución).

When I try to run "VBoxManage list vms" I get all this:

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (2.6.24-23-generic) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.2

And if I run "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" I get:

* Stopping VirtualBox kernel module * done.
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong

And this is the content of that file:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 311: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: not found

I tried installing VirtualBox via .deb file and via Ubuntu repositories, editing "/etc/apt/sources.list", but my problem is still there.

This is what happens when installing via "dpkg":

sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-2.1_2.1.2-41885_Ubuntu_intrepid_amd64.deb
Seleccionando el paquete virtualbox-2.1 previamente no seleccionado.

El paquete `libqtgui4' no está instalado.
dpkg: error al procesar virtualbox-2.1 (--install):

virtualbox-2.1

Any help would be welcome, Thanks

EDITED:

I tried "apt-get update", but nothing

I tried to install those missing packages, but they don't exist in Ubuntu 8.10

It seems that you have outdated repository headers. Update them, then try to install the missing packages manually.

OOoppsss... I had forgotten this:

They do exist, I have them and I run 8.10. Check your sources, there might be some missing. They should be in the main repository, but there are also some updates in intrepid-updates.

You gave me the clue to search for, Sasquatch, and I have found it

The problem was easy to solve: I was wrong in putting this line at /etc/apt/sources.lst :

# VirtualBox:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy non-free

The correct one for my Ubuntu version is:

# VirtualBox:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian intrepid non-free

Now everything works OK

Thanks a lot, my friend
