faltando pacotes no Ubuntu quando eu tento instalar o VirtualBox

Question

Eu estava tentando instalar o VirtualBox usando

apt-get install virtualbox

E mostre no meu Ubuntu:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl-base : Breaks: debconf (< 1.5.61) but 1.5.58ubuntu1 is to be installed
             Breaks: debconf:i386 (< 1.5.61)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

por que acontecer e como posso resolvê-lo?

Answer 1

Você tem Kali na sua lista de fontes. Se procurarmos o debconf para o Xenial (16.04), a versão mais recente é 1.5.58ubuntu1 no momento da escrita deste artigo. Você tem um debconf mais novo, provavelmente do kali.

Lista de pacotes indica que a versão mais recente do debconf em Kali é 1.5.66.

Você provavelmente também tem perl-base do repositório kali. perl-base está listado como quebrando debconf < < 1.5.61.

O problema é que você tem vários repositórios com dependências mutuamente exclusivas - o que irá criar problemas. Os repositórios de Kalis devem fornecer todo o sistema, não apenas partes dele.

Você pode dar uma olhada em esta resposta que discute como remover todos os pacotes de um repositório específico, para que você possa remover todos os pacotes Kali do seu sistema, o que deve permitir que você instale o virtualbox.
