I personally would avoid all risk of conflict and purge VB with your package
manager of choice before installing the upstream version.
In my experience one needs (I needed) the upstream guest additions.

Hi:
I couldn't test VBox5.0 on Jessie - that might work but if you already
upgraded Jessie to Testing than you run into problems with libvpx1. It has no
install candidate in Testing because libvpx2 is part of Testing.
The best bet might be to stay with Jessie as host system and install Testing
in a virtual machine to keep track of the gcc5 transition.
Well - all depends on what you are up to ...

Hi Eike,
Thanks for repllying. am not using testing at all. When my old HD
died, I bought a 1 Tb dirive and installed Jessie stable from scratch
using netinstall. Checked virtualbox site and it recommends for Jessie
virtualbox 5.0.2 which is the latest, I guess, stable version of
Virtualbox as it is also recommended for Wheezy too. Not planning on
going to testing w. these newer often changing Linux systems. I had
used testing in the pas thru squeeze. But when Wheezy came out I
started using stable because of the major changes being made to the
kernel and system.
Thanks for replying and the help. Appreciate it a bunch.
Regards,
whit
