Repositories for VirtualBox 4.2.x


VirtualBox 4.2.x

 After the release of VirtualBox 4.2.x versions, I decided to update the repositories on one of the computers at work, which runs Ubuntu 12.04. To do so just put the following into the file /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib

After this change you must refresh the package list and update VirtualBox:

aptitude update
aptitude install virtualbox-4.2

Repositories on Debian

For Debian testing (wheezy) and stable  (Squeeze) you must put the following lines:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian wheezy contrib
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free

Setting apt-cacher

If you followed the apt-cacher and VirtualBox recipe from this blog, I inform you only the /etc/apt/sources.list file must be edited as explained above, I mean, the apt-cacher server remains unchanged.
