Hi, I installed Virtualbox back in 10.04 and now have upgraded to 10.10. I used vbox repo for that:
taavi@hyperion:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick non-free
But now something has messed up poor old dpkg brains cause when I try to run apt-get upgrade manually, outcome is very messy. I want to get rid of those warnings and errors. If their packages or metainfo is messed up, I can live with it, but leave dpkg alone!
taavi@hyperion:~/apps$ sudo aptitude upgrade
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
virtualbox-3.2
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
