It should not get confused, it will likely just state that a newer version than the one available from the repository is installed. To avoid any issues, you can add the appropriate (intrepid) VB repository to /etc/apt/sources.list (or better yet, put it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list) following the instructions at the bottom of the page linked above. -- David Dooling http://www.politigenomics.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
