[vbox-dev] VirtualBox 5.2.8 packages for Ubuntu 18.04

[Armindo Silva]

Hello Michael,

I just migrated from artful to bionic and although I re-enabled the
repository the virtualbox-5.2 package did not upgrade to the bionic
version, but it kept working.

$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-5.2
virtualbox-5.2:
  Installed: 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~zesty
  Candidate: 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~zesty
  Version table:
 *** 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~zesty 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

     5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~bionic 500


        500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic/contrib
amd64 Packages

After removing the old package and installing it again:

$ apt-cache policy virtualbox-5.2
virtualbox-5.2:
  Installed: 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~bionic
  Candidate: 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~bionic
  Version table:
 *** 5.2.8-121009~Ubuntu~bionic 500
        500 http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian bionic/contrib
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I can confirm it is working (extension pack included).

Thank you for the good work!


Regards,
Armindo.
