Why does it need to be reinstalled? There's no Ubuntu repository for "virtualbox", just the official one, but unsupported by Ubuntu: see http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (where you can find .debs and the instructions to add the virtualbox.org archive to your APT sources).
You may want to try the package virtualbox-ose instead, which is supported by Ubuntu. Please note, that you would also have to install virtualbox-ose-modules (currently provided by the package virtualbox- ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic). I'm closing this bug as "Invalid", because the package "virtualbox" (without "-ose") is not supported by Ubuntu. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may see. ** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: firefox => virtualbox Status: New => Invalid ** Summary changed: - he package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. + The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. -- The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/150406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
