Please set back libvpx1 into Wily archive

[dino99]

Wanting to install virtualbox 5.0 from virtualbox.org, as the wily archive one (5.02-dfsg-2) has a vboxpci iommu issue.

but i require libvpx1 to install (and no more available into Wily archive)
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvpx

virtualbox-5.0:
 Depends: libvpx1 (>=1.0.0) but it is not installable

Error with the Wily package:
dmesg | grep -i iommu
[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.2.0-4-generic root=UUID=7b1f4a51-558f-468f-85e0-f815d2f791e1 ro intel_iommu=on
[ 0.000000] DMAR: IOMMU enabled
[ 32.662814] vboxpci: IOMMU not found (not registered)

(this is a test with intel_iommu=on kernel parameter, but without i get the same result. So i need the version from virtualbox.org)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The newer 5.0.4 virtualbox still needs libvpx1

[Vartan Simonian (vsimonian)]

5.0.6 still requires libvpx1

[Shuhao (shuhao)]

I think this is an oracle fault, no? They should probably be depending on libvpx1 > 1.0.0 | libvpx2.

i have libvpx2 installed in my wily but still can NOT install "virtualbox-5.0_5.0.8-103449~Ubuntu~trusty_amd64.deb"
in my wily by dpkg -i , its says it depends on libvpx1
any solution ?

Is this going to be fixed soon? It's a real inconvenience.

[Geoff Cummins (geoff-hawky)]

I did a work around, I went and downloaded the older version at http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libvpx1 and installed it with dpkg. This seemed to make everything happy for now.

It's no longer relevant. Type: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian wily contrib" and then install package virtualbox-5.0. It's version 5.10 and apparently it doesn't require libvpx1. (I don't have libvpx1 in my system, and still been able to install virtualbox-5.0 from repository).

sudo sed -i 's/vivid/wily/' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.0

That does fix it, wily wasn't an option before
