virtualbox not available in repos

Post by kghosh22 »

Why is virtualbox-ose missing from the repos?
Virtualbox-ose-kmod and virtualbox-ose-additions are present, but no virtualbox-ose.
I tried in both oktopkg and in software station, both are not showing virtualbox-ose.

It is available in ports.
I tried installing /emulators/virtualbox-ose from ports, but it failed with:

===> FAILED Applying FreeBSD patch-kBuild_env.sh
===> FAILED to apply cleanly FreeBSD patch(es) patch-kBuild_env.sh
*** Error code 1

Any help will be appreciated.

I am a new user of GhostBSD, but a long time user of Linux Debian.
I have earlier installed virtualbox on GhostBSD, but after reinstalling GhostBSD, I can no longer find virtualbox-ose.

Thanks in advance,
K. Ghosh

Thanks for reporting I fixed the port this morning https://github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-po ... b670f2dc11.

I will build the package.

Thanks, Virtualbox-ose is now available in the repos.
However, trying to install it fails with the message:

I don't find VBoxManage or rc-update in the repos.
Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

A year without update/repost on results? Seems a pretty important issue!

It has been fixed since, and I do not track bugs in the forum. Also, there is a clear message at the top of the forum.
