Re: virtualbox installs other backports packages and
Hello Aron,
Thats what I thought, nevertheless, as soon as I try to install
virtualbox, on a practically clean install of debian, and without having
installed any other packages from backports, apt installs the backported
versions of these packages.
I did check the package page
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/virtualbox , and if you
click on the package libqt4-opengl for example, it takes you to the page
relating to the backported package ( I thought this indicated, this is
the package that would be installed, when virtualbox is installed).
Can you help me with this APT pinning set-up, I dont know what that is,
thanks,
