Hello Eduardo:
I was wondering if anyone had version 5.2.18-dfsg-2 installed and didn't do updates ever since, but this is a rare case.

that version is the base in cosmic, so if anybody has it installed is not on xenial anymore...
please don't make confusion between 5.0.18 and 5.2.18 :)
If you look carefully, all the virtualbox history is self consistent between and across supported and unsupported Ubuntu releases.

Of course mistakes can happen, and in case they do, please tell me exactly which version and which pocket you are referring to, and I'll have a look :)

this is my fault, I just had no time to fix this serious issue before (basically vbox 6 is taking all my time), so I don't re-read my posts :)

>Also, did you have trouble with virtualbox on cosmic? With the lack of wsimport (openjdk-11 change), >it is almost impossible to build the project right now.

java is a sad thing, since the begin :P
there are two kind of people:
1) people who have problem with java
2) people who never used it :)

(attached a revised cosmic patch)
For the upload, feel free to go ahead, I'm not part of security team, I don't think I can upload there...
