Hello!
This evening I tried to install virtualbox into a fresh Bookworm install. I
followed the steps in Virtualbox's Debian Wiki entry. After set up
fasttrack repository successfully and issue a apt install virtualbox
command I get:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox: Depends: python3 (< 3.10) but 3.11.2-1+b1 is to be installed
Depends: python3.9 but it is not installable
Depends: libgsoap-2.8.104 but it is not installable
Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libvpx6 (>= 1.6.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: virtualbox-qt (= 7.0 .6-dfsg-1~fto11+1) but it is
not going to be installed
Recommends: libqt5opengl5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to
be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I was surprised by the python 3.9 dependency, it leads me to think
fasttrack repos are abandoned? What is the right way to install virtualbox
in Debian Bookworm?
Thanks in advance
Miguel A. Vallejo
