[Resolved] VirtualBox 6.0 will not install due to missing Python(abi)
Posted: 13. Nov 2019, 15:32
I am trying to install VirtualBox-6.0-6.0.14 on a Fedora 31 computer. DNF issues an error message that no provider for python(abi) can be found. This problem started while the computer had Fedora 30 on it.
The computer has 6.0.10 installed but it will no longer run. It worked as recently as about August of this year. The kernel module will not load. When I try to rebuild the kernel module, it throws other errors:
The last few lines of /var/log/vbox-setup.log look like this:
What's going on? What can I do to get VirtualBox installed on this computer?

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run

kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.
