Cannot see Virtualbox 5.1.14 in apt-policy

steveyau · 24. Oktober 2017

I have done following but still cannot install vitrualbox 5.1.14:

1. removed all kernal but 4.9.0-0.bpo.3-686-pae
2. installed linux header according to uname -r
3. purged virtualbox, virtualbox-dkms, phpvirtual, userdel vbox, groupdel vboxgroup
4. enabled backport, with source "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib" under /etc/apt/source.list
5. ran omv-aptclean

but the apt-cache policy virtualbox still looks:

Code

:~# apt-cache policy virtualbox
virtualbox:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 4.3.36-dfsg-1+deb8u1
  Package pin: (not found)
  Version table:

I never built the packages for i386. Most people using virtualbox have amd64 compatible systems.

So VB plugin is not working on i386 regardless the kernel version?

Any alternative? e.g. Proxmox?

No, it works but not virtualbox version 5.1.14 that you asked about. Your output shows that 5.1.8 is available which will work just fine.

I use VMware ESXi and Proxmox. They both work well.
