Bug#799675: [virtualbox] missing packages in sid

Source: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.4-dfsg-3
Followup-For: Bug #799675

Problem still persists. Push^^
..deb packages from virtualbox.org won't install, too, because they
depend on libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) which has no installation candidate.

I'd be very happy about a fix :)

Bug#799675: [virtualbox] missing packages in sid

[jnqnfe]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.4-dfsg-3
Severity: grave

Certain virtualbox packages seem to have vanished from sid with the
latest update.

I noticed two packages being held back when performing an upgrade on a
sid host - virtualbox and virtualbox-qt (5.0.4-dfsg-2 -> 5.0.4-dfsg-3).
When doing a full-upgrade, aptitude complains about unmet dependencies 
- predepending on virtualbox-dmks 5.0.4-dfsg-3, but 5.0.4-dfsg-2 is
installed. A 5.0.4-dfsg-3 copy of virtualbox-dkms is clearly not
available. In fact the virtualbox-dkms package is no longer available
from the sid repo at all... Nor is the alternative virtualbox-source.

Similarly in a VM, virtualbox-guest-x11 and virtualbox-guest-utils
updates where successfully installed, however no virtualbox-guest-dkms
update was available, the existing copy was marked as obsolete and
removed, and it is no longer available from the repo.
