[Bug 379878] Re: Dangling symlink /usr/src/vboxdrv-2.2.2 caused by installing virtualbox-2.2, virtualbox-ose-source, then virtualbox-ose

[Daniel Hahler]

This fix was dumb, sorry: we should not conflict with something we provide ourself.
Since virtualbox-ose-source does not really provide virtualbox etc, I've looked into "Replaces" instead, but which did not work (same result; probably due to the symlink).

I'm going to rollback the Conflicts and file an upstream bug instead,
that they should "Provide: virtualbox-source" (which they actually are
doing).

Another way out of this might be to remove the "Provides" for
virtualbox-2* (I'm unsure about if that makes actually much sense,
and/or gives any benefit) and re-add the conflict. To be discussed.


** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => In Progress

** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu)
