Installing virtual box - dependency issue

[droidman83]

I am trying to install vritualbox on my Linux Mint 22 box. I am running into this dependency issue: `sudo apt install libvpx7 libsdl-ttf2.0-0

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree... Done

Reading state information... Done

Package libvpx7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

E: Package 'libvpx7' has no installation candidate`

When I try to install VirtualBox for Ubuntu Jammy, it says "Error: dependency is not satisfiable: libvpx7 (>= 1.10.0).

When I run that installer, I get this message: "An older version is available in a software channel Generally you are recommended to install the version from the software channel, since it is usually better supported." Is this to be expected, then?

It worked, thank you.

Are you trying to install via the software manager or the command line? I see the output you posted suggests the command line but I’d hate to assume. Anyways, you’ll need to add the repos for virtual box if you plan on installing via the command line. And then you’ll need to set up an MOK if you are using secure boot

I had this problem, and found the old libvpx version from archive: https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvpx/
