Hi, I need virtualbox for a course I'm taking so tried to install it yesterday on 64bit Kali Sana with the rolling release repo's. (For the record it's on a thinkpad with an i7 processor and integrated video card)
I installed vb from the terminal (after getting linux headers) using wget and dpkg. While it did install I got the following errors:
Code:
dpkg -i virtualbox-5.0_5.0.20-106931~Debian~wheezy_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package virtualbox-5.0.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-5.0 : Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: dkms but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: linux-headers but it is not installable
virtualbox-dkms : Depends: dkms (>= 2.1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: virtualbox (>= 5.0.20-dfsg-1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I would really appreciate any help with this, I don't want to swap OS's just because I can't get vb up and running.
Should I try to add the retired Kali repo's as well?
