Public bug reported:
I'm trying to install vagrant 1.0.1-1. On my host virtualbox is not
installed, but virtualbox-4.2 from virtualbox.org is. To my surprise,
installing vagrant wants to force installation of virtualbox, which
forces uninstallation of virtualbox-4.2:
# apt-get install vagrant
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libgsoap1 ruby-archive-tar-minitar ruby-childprocess ruby-erubis ruby-ffi
ruby-i18n ruby-json ruby-log4r ruby-net-scp
ruby-net-ssh rubygems virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt
Suggested packages:
virtualbox-guest-additions-iso vde2
The following packages will be REMOVED:
virtualbox-4.2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libgsoap1 ruby-archive-tar-minitar ruby-childprocess ruby-erubis ruby-ffi
ruby-i18n ruby-json ruby-log4r ruby-net-scp
ruby-net-ssh rubygems vagrant virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt

Need to get 24.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 59.1 MB disk space will be freed.
I can't figure out why this should happen, because AFAICT vagrant only
recommends virtualbox, it doesn't depend on it.
It would be nice if vagrant didn't force uninstallation of
virtualbox-4.2. It would be even nicer if vagrant would accept
virtualbox-4.2 as providing the virtualbox package.
Thanks, Andrew.
