I could even enforce an ext-pack version coupled with virtualbox, actually I already do that for the ext pack package https://packages.debian.org/unstable/virtualbox-ext-pack you can install the ext package only if you are running the same minor vbox version. This is not ideal, because: 1) I force the virtualbox to work only with ext-pack same minor version (this is an overkill, breaking changes for ext-pack happens only from time to time, not each release 2) it works only when the user has installed both from Debian/Ubuntu (not if you have vbox from repo and ext-pack from upstream) 3) it has been added for 5.1.x, this dependency is not available on the last Ubuntu LTS (and I don't think I'll add it to the stable packages) thanks, Gianfranco _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
