I'm been using VirtualBox for quite some time on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04, and have successfully updated it at least three times; currently I'm using 4.2.18 r88780.
When I run VirtualBox now, it tells me that a new update is available, but when I download the deb package update, the Ubuntu software Center gives me the following error message and won't install it.
"Breaks existing package 'virtualbox-4.2' that conflict: 'virtualbox'. But the '/home/myusername/Downloads/virtualbox-4.3_4.3.6-91046-Ubuntu-precise_amd64.deb' provides it via: 'virtualbox'"
I don't have any issues with VirtualBox now aside from the "guilt by association" that comes with having it run Windows, so this isn't probably a big deal, but does anyone have any ideas why this should happen?
