** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: - I have package "virtualbox-4.0" currently installed - I try to install package "virtualbox-4.1" by double clicking on the .deb file which I downloaded from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/virtualbox-4.1_4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~oneiric_i386.deb This opens the Ubuntu Software Center - - A green checkmark (as if meaning "ok") is shown and below the following message appears (oh sh* I can't copy and paste it, that's another bug): - "Breaks existing package 'virtualbox-4.0' that conflict: "Virtualbox".

But the 'xxxx.deb' provides it via: 'virtualbox' The second part starting with "But" seems to mean that the package CAN be installed, and most importantly, there is an "Install" button on the right which is not greyed out.
