Info: Virtualbox 7.0.4 with backports dependence

[Member sybok]

Hi, new version of virtualbox, 7.0.4, recently appeared in repositories.
Unfortunately, it fails to install, tested with my default repositories, see output of inxi in e.g. my earlier VB post, or the Athen Greece antiX repositories.
1) Update is not performed silently though two update-able packages detected.
2) Removal of current version of virtualbox and virtualbox-qt followed by install attempt fails with the below error:

$ sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-qt
…
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox : Depends: libtpms0 (>= 0.8.0~dev1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The ‘libtpms0’ can be installed when enabling bullseye-backports, see e.g. https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=sourcenames&keywords=libtpms

Unfortunately, I was unable to restore the older version which did not work for me well in the past few weeks.

$ sudo apt install virtualbox=6.1.22-dfsg-2~mx21+1 virtualbox-qt=6.1.22-dfsg-2~mx21+1

E: Can’t find a source to download version ‘6.1.22-dfsg-2~mx21+1’ of ‘virtualbox:amd64’

An older version ‘6.1.14-dfsg-2~mx19+1’ still might be installable, I did not test this.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.
