Package: virtualbox-ose Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-2 Followup-For: Bug #502375 Hi Daniel,
First of all, thanks for taking care of this package.

I've used virtualbox for a while with that binary package and that was a great experience. Suddenly, the binary package doesn't work anymore, and I keep having to compile it from source after every upgrade, because the non-working binary package keeps being installed over my manually compiled package. So, again: why not update the binary package to get the comfort we used to have? I think all testing users are having this problem... Isn't there something that can be done to make this easier or more comfortable, like updating the binary package in the repositories? > > 2) After installing the package built by the m-a command, apt-get > > upgrade tries to upgrade me to the package I mentioned in 1).

And again: I guess many users are having it. So, please explain us, poor users, how we can get our comfortable situation back of a few months ago :) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages virtualbox-ose depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 7.0.3-6 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libidl0 0.8.10-0.1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.8b-5 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-2 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii libxslt1.1 1.1.24-2 XSLT processing library - runtime ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library Versions of packages virtualbox-ose recommends: ii virtualbox-ose-modul 2.6.25+1.6.2-dfsg-5 PC virtualization solution modules ii virtualbox-ose-modul 2.6.26+1.6.2-dfsg-4 PC virtualization solution for Lin Versions of packages virtualbox-ose suggests: pn bridge-utils <none> (no description available) ii virtualbox-ose-source 1.6.6-dfsg-2 x86 virtualization solution - kern -- debconf information: * virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
