Hi...
Not sure if this is the right place to run this.
I am trying to install Virtualbox 4.2 in 12.04 LTS using this...
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/virtualbox-420-released-with-support.html
I removed Version 4.1.12-1 via synaptic before running the required commands and all was going well until it got to the point of installation. Terminal shows this output with error :
~$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
libgsoap1
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
virtualbox-4.2
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/60.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 132 MB of additional disk space will be used.

The error detail seems to suggest a link to my previous version but I am not sure what this means. Can any one help please?
Thanks in advance
