Trying to install virtualbox - unmet dependencies












1















So I am trying to install virtualbox 6.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and it seems to be having dependency problems.



I've confirmed the sources.list file contains



deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib


and I have used update multiple times with nothing showing up to be updated.



Also apt-get -f install did not help either. Here is what I get when i run sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.0:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-6.0 : Depends: libqt5x11extra5 (>= 5.6.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not installable
Recommends: pdf-viewer
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


And dpkg --get-selections | grep hold doesn't return anything.



Any ideas?

  • The line in my sources.list looks like this: deb [arch=amd64] https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic contrib I suggest adding the [arch=amd64] and trying again.

    I just fixed it by adding deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe to my sources.list file

  • @sean So wasn’t your problem just a disabled Universe repository?
