 Now You See It And Now You Don'tMy apt-notifier greeted me today with an update. I loaded Synaptic and saw VirtualBox was updated to version 4.1.12. But when I applied the update, Synaptic informed me that the file could not be found:
I went to the Oracle VirtualBox web site, checked the repository that's listed there:
I verified that my /etc/apt/sources.list matched the above entry. I hit Reload, and there were no errors reported (all the repositories were located). I tried to apply the update again, with the same error. I then exited Synaptic, and the apt-notifier still shows an update available.  I suspect Oracle may have pulled the file from the repository for some reason (maybe there were bugs in that release?). I'm tempted to download the .deb file directly, but I'm not sure about the integrity of this package. Maybe I'll just wait awhile until this gets sorted out. Has anyone successfully upgraded VirtualBox to revision 4.1.12 using the virtualbox.org repositories for any of the other Debian releases (squeeze, wheezy, etc.)? _________________ SimplyMEPIS is SimplyTHEBEST Mepis 8.5; 2.6.32-1-mepis-pae (Internal 2.6.32-12); 4GB RAM 2.4GHz AMD Athlon 4600+ NVidia GeForce 6150 LE; 304.51 Display Driver |

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't
Upgraded from squeeze this morning (about 8 hrs ago). Tested OK, but I haven't tried any serious work in it yet. I will do so now and report if I have any problems. I had to install the VBox extensions from the terminal, but that's not unusual.

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't Looking here in the browser (http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... albox-4.1/) I see that all the files are listed with a " - " (a dash character) in the filesize column {and not just the lenny packages}.
If you click on them you get "The requested object does not exist on this server. ...". I wonder if they might be getting ready to load up a newer version package? |

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't I found this on the virtualbox.org forum: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic ... 52#p222052, they removed the 4.1.12-77218 packages.

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't I've given 4.1.12 a good run through with no problems, so I will leave it until the replacement appears - looks like very soon.

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't [Solved]
Thanks for that link. I suspected as much. It's always best to wait a day or two and let the "beta testers" find the errors before applying the updates.  _________________ SimplyMEPIS is SimplyTHEBEST Mepis 8.5; 2.6.32-1-mepis-pae (Internal 2.6.32-12); 4GB RAM 2.4GHz AMD Athlon 4600+ NVidia GeForce 6150 LE; 304.51 Display Driver |

Re: Now You See It And Now You Don't Problem seems solved, it is Synaptic downloading the new VB now here.
