VirtualBox update doesn't function...

Post by alexd »

Hi...

I've installed VirtualBox for Fedora 10 after three months. Last week I've been notified about an upgrade. Today I've downloaded and installed that update but I getting a conflict error between packages:
Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDD2GC.gc from install of VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_fedora9-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_fedora9-1.i386

Of course, my distro is 10 and not 9 but I've followed the link to update my VirtualBox. How I can solve this problem without loss of my WinXp snapshop?

Thank you in advance!

You run the OSE version from your distro repository. You have to contact them with a bug report about this. You also have to keep in mind that if you run the 64 bit version, you can't install the 32 bit next to it, or replace it with that. The error states that: Test Transaction Errors: file /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDD2GC.gc from install of VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_fedora9-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_fedora9-1.i386.
