But how did you do this?

When I search packages.debian.org for "5.2.12-dfsg-3", I get "no results".
I only find 5.2.10s and the broken 5.2.14. When I installed the 5.2.10
("aptitude install virtualbox/stable") I then find no executable to start
Virtualbox. So I did an "aptitude remove virtualbox", followed by another
"aptitude install virtualbox/stable", which did more than the first install
(rebuilding modules, I believe), and ended with the
error/warning/notification "vboxweb.service is a disabled or a static unit
not running, not starting it.", and I still find no executable with which
to start Virtualbox.

Thanks!
