top tip, when asking questions on IRC, stick around for more than a

Alan.
Thank you for the tip, but do have any thing more than that to offer?
I really appreciate the tip, but it would be helpful to get a little
bit more than this type of comment all the time, then you just
dissappear.
I was having lunch. It is a real time medium, very very useful for
interactively working through the kind of situation you have ended up in
(which looks like a problem in the virtualbox packaging to me, possibly
historic) but for it to work you have to stick around for a few hours. I
would be interested in the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/available around
lines 46354 and 48216, might be possible to just edit those lines and
remove the now-invalid revision number in the superceeded packages you
have referenced in that file.
