I have been using Innotek Virtualbox version 1.5.6 successfully for a long time, on Ubuntu 8.0.4 Yesterday I decided to upgrade to version 2.1-2.1., since it was in Synaptics. After selecting the download and proceeded to apply, Synaptic asked me to remove vs 1.5.6 first before installing 2.1-2.1, I agreed to apply.
The download went on and started the installation when mid way it stopped and the following Error poped out:"Error were encountered while processing: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-2.1_2.1.2-41885%5fUbuntu%5fhardy_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.24-23-386/misc/vboxdrv.ko', which is also in package virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-23-386" I couldnt understand why using Synaptic Package I was getting an error so I searched Ubuntu Forums and I found this Link: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-virtualbox-21-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex804-hardy-heron.html I followed all steps and I reached to : sudo apt-get install virtualbox-2.1 which proceeded until...

I lost version 1.5.6 and I am left with an error. Can I have help please. Much Obliged, Victor
