Virtualbox missing package
by Crb999 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4ZEGR)
I'm running Suse Leap 15.1.
There are a couple of heritage programs I would dearly love to run here but 'wine' cant manage.
Looking through I saw that 'Virtualbox' might be a contender, however, although I downloaded and installed it from the Suse site, it complains, and I get the same warning each time I try to install an upgrade, please see the below.
Code:virtualbox-qt-8.0.12-|p151.2.9.1.x86_64 requires virtualbox =6.0.12, but this requirement cannot be providedNow, I have 73 new updates which won't update because of that error message.
I have been through the update list and deselected all the Virt* I could see, but that makes no difference, the same error comes up again and again.
So, three matters arise:
Can anyone point me to a trusted source of the virtualbox-qt etc that it can't find?
Surely something is very wrong when a single missing package stops all other upgrades?
This is 2020! Why can I not select that error message and paste it into the request?
Regards
Chris

I have used Yast to uninstall virtualbox. It reports it done.
any attempt to install updates, including 9 security updates fails with 'virtualbox' warnings.
