Hi guys,
Im trying to install the deb package of 6.1 ov the installed 6.0 but I get this error
Code: Select all
ted@mosby:/temp# dpkg -i virtual*.deb
dpkg: regarding virtualbox-6.1_6.1.0-135406-Debian-jessie_amd64.deb containing virtualbox-6.1:
virtualbox-6.1 conflicts with virtualbox
virtualbox-6.0 provides virtualbox and is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing archive virtualbox-6.1_6.1.0-135406-Debian-jessie_amd64.deb (--install):
conflicting packages - not installing virtualbox-6.1
Errors were encountered while processing:
virtualbox-6.1_6.1.0-135406-Debian-jessie_amd64.deb
All previous versions were installed via deb packages so were the requested tools
Any idea?
Than you in advance
papa

I'm not on Debian, but how about removing the previous version that's conflicting by already providing 'virtualbox'? It seems to work fine on Mint with '
apt-get', in theory it should work fine with the lower level '
dpkg --remove'...

I installed all the previous versions without any preoblem and without deleting anything so I hoped to do my usual dpkg -i virtual*.deb and et voilà the new version was installed

It's strongly suggested to do a complete uninstall/clean up before any major installation. Minor ones should work just fine...
