Debian packages for bookworm AKA Debian v12
Reported by: | mikagrml | Owned by: | |

Description
Debian/bookworm (see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases) is already in soft freeze and will soon go into hard freeze, see https://release.debian.org/bookworm/freeze_policy.html
The Debian packages for bullseye sadly don't work on Debian/bookworm due to dependency problems:
% lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid Release: n/a Codename: bookworm % sudo apt install ./virtualbox-7.0_7.0.6-155176\~Debian\~bullseye_amd64.deb [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: virtualbox-7.0 : Depends: libssl1.1 (>= 1.1.1) but it is not installable Depends: libvpx6 (>= 1.6.0) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
FTR, in bookworm libssl3 (via openssl/libssl-dev) is the replacement for libssl1.1 and libvpx7 (via libvpx/libvpx-dev) the replacement for libvpx6.
Would be great to have Debian packages for bookworm available, thanks for consideration!

Hi galitsyn,
Replying to galitsyn:
Hi mikagrml,
Thank you for pointing out. We will need to wait until Bookworm will be officially released. Building packages in pre-release/unstable distribution environment is not a good way to go. For now, you can use "All distributions" (.run) package from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads.
Thanks for the information, as of 2023-06-10 Debian bookworm was officially released, see https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20230610 :)

Galitsyn,
Now might be a good time to give the Debian user community an estimate of when you expect to have the Virtual Box package for bookworm available.
Thanks

Hi, many of us in the a Debian community are waiting for this for Debian 12, especially after the Red Hat paywall source code hiding. Honestly, this should have been done months ago, because Bookworm beta had been available for more than 6 months, and the libraries are mostly the same...
Anyways, requesting this to come out soon.

Hi guys,
I've been using it for two days and performing several tests.
No mistakes.

For my kernel 6.1.0-10-rt-amd64 /sbin/vboxconfig has stuck my processor and I got a great call trace in journalctl ... it seems like vboxdrv ran a fatal error on kernel
