Hi all. Initially installed virtualbox from repository which gave me the OSE edition without USB support. Found the CSE version from sun for Karmic & tried to install that (after removing the OSE edition) and I continually get a "Error: Breaks exisiting package 'virtualbox-ose' conflict: virtualbox-3.0 ( )' message from Package Installer.

Any thoughts?

TIA
Marc

You might try removing ose again with this to make sure all the configuration files are also removed.

sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-ose

Thank you very much. That plus below did the trick (still had virtualbox-ose-source).


sudo apt-get autoremove virtualbox-ose
