Bug#780094: pre-unblock: virtualbox/4.3.18-dfsg-3, virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 4.3.18-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Hi release team members,
can you please ack/nack unblock of package virtualbox and the guest-additions-iso?
Many users installs the official virtualbox deb package, rather than the debian one.
When they try to install the debian without purging the official one they likely
fail because of a service already provided (there are many ubuntu bugs with that
kind of reported problems, but the problem is also debian specific)
the following patch updates the conflicts fields with the never oracle releases.
