Summary	0002612: virtualbox-qt unmet dependencies
Description	Kali Linux 2.0 installed from ISO - OK apt-get install virtualbox - OK apt-get update & upgrade Now trying to upgrade Kali 2.0 packages give "unmet dependencies" error.
Steps To Reproduce	apt-get update apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualbox-qt : Depends: virtualbox (= 4.3.28-dfsg-1kali1+b1) but 4.3.28-dfsg-1kali1 is to be installed E: Broken packages

rhertzog 2015-09-03 08:48 administrator ~0003876	Can you show the output of "apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox-qt" after an "apt-get update"? In theory you should see version 4.3.28-dfsg-1kali1+b1 of both packages... and the upgrade should not cause any problem, it's just that both packages must be upgraded together. If the upgrade still fails, can you try to do "apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-qt" and show the error? Did you put some package on "hold" or did you add custom apt pinning that would forbid APT to do it job?

Fulgur 2015-09-03 09:00 reporter ~0003877	SOLVED! Thanks! apt-get update apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox-qt virtualbox: Installato: (nessuno) Candidato: 4.3.20-dfsg-1~kali1 Tabella versione: 4.3.20-dfsg-1~kali1 0 500 http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/contrib i386 Packages 4.1.18-dfsg-2.1 0 500 http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/main i386 Packages virtualbox-qt: Installato: (nessuno) Candidato: 4.3.20-dfsg-1~kali1 Tabella versione: 4.3.20-dfsg-1~kali1 0 500 http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/contrib i386 Packages 4.1.18-dfsg-2.1 0 500 http://http.kali.org/kali/ kali/main i386 Packages apt-get upgrade OK - SOLVED! Thanks

rhertzog 2015-09-03 09:03 administrator ~0003878	This shows that you don't have Kali 2.0 in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Ensure you have "sana" and not kali as distribution name there... deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main contrib non-free

Fulgur 2015-09-03 11:02 reporter ~0003897	Sorry, I have done a bit of confusion.
