At the beginning of the install using gdebi the installer says everything is fine and no conflicts. It even states that all packages are installed and the error only pops up after the install. Of course with this error no re-install is available in gdebi. Any ideas what needs to be done? " defect closed other VirtualBox 4.1.6 invalid other Linux
