virtualbox-ose should not show as auto removable

[Daniel Newman]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

Ubuntu 9.04

virtualbox-ose 2.1.0-dfsg-2ubuntu1

when installed by synaptic or apt, the package shows up as auto-removable. Since it has been specifically installed, this should not occur. Doing an explicit install with dpkg -i still leaves it as auto-removable

How exactly did you install virtualbox?

This should mark the package as manually installed:
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
or
sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose&M

[Daniel Newman (dmnewman)]

I tried both "apt-get install virtualbox-ose" and downloading the .deb,
then using dpkg -i. Both of them had the same result.

However, in the intervening six months I have switched to the sun
virtualbox-2.1 installation, so I'm not able to say if the problem still
applies to the current ose version.
