package virtualbox-ose-dkms not installed failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 5

[Troy Dormady]

Hello Team,

I have been trying install virtualbox, however, it keeps returning some errors. Also, the GTK+ 'ubuntulooks' seems to be causing an issue, it says, it cannot be found, but I will figure out where to find that and install it.

Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This version has expired some times ago, and no backport is expected as there is no 'security' reported problem
