CAnnot install "python" on Sid, so cannot install Virtualbox 6.1
by 273 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57GRK)
I have been waiting around hoping this would be resolved as part of the usual bug fixing but it seems it may just be me seeing this.
After a dist-upgrade the other day when I neglected to pay attention Virtualbox was removed from my system. On trying to reinstall it I saw the following:Code:python : PreDepends: python-minimal (= 2.7.17-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpython-stdlib (= 2.7.17-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python2 (= 2.7.17-2) but 2.7.18-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.I also found that a script I had for my Blinkstick didn't work as it relied upon the python executable but a quick simlink called python pointing to python2 solved that.
Has anyone else seen somethihng like this? When I google I get no results.
If it doesn't get resolved soon I might resort to trying to download and edit the Virtualbox deb file manually but that's always been a pain to do.
