      Hi everyone,

      Is it correct that the virtualbox package is absent in the Buster repos? And do I consequently need to switch to ‘testing’ repos if I need it? Or is there a workaround?

      Thanks

        Nope, it’s in the repos, your repos might missing something.

          We have version 6.1.2 in antiX buster repos.
          Simply install via apt or synaptic

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

          antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

            Indeed it’s there. Strange, I’m sure I searched for ‘virtualbox’ in Synaptic, and not seeing it in the list. Maybe it appeared only after solving a minor problem with ‘apt update’ that I had. Or else I suffered from temporary blindness…

            Sorry for bothering you unnecessarily…
