[SOLVED]Can't install Virtualbox from Oracle's repo

Hi
I have been trying to install Virtualbox from Oracle's repository (I need USB support).

I get an error:

sudo aptitude install virtualbox-4.1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libpython2.6{a} libqt4-dbus{a} libqt4-network{a} libqt4-opengl{a} libqt4-xml{a} qdbus{a} virtualbox-4.1{b} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
  libhal1 libsdl-ttf2.0-0 python-central 
0 packages upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 74.4 MB of archives. After unpacking 145 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-4.1 : Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1) which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Keep the following packages at their current version:
1)     virtualbox-4.1 [Not Installed]                     



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n

Anyone can help?

Re: [SOLVED]Can't install Virtualbox from Oracle's repo

Hello,

libssl0.9.8 <- this is the problem file, seems it is missing in the wheezy repos.

How do you try to install virtualbox? Have you used the virtualbox.org repositories in sources.list? You need to add the wheezy ones.

See our fantastic wiki: http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/virtualbox

If you have indeed added the right repositories, you might try to install libssl0.9.8 from here: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libssl0.9.8

Scroll down the page, pick i386 or amd64, in the next page right click on one of the links and download the package, open terminal, go to the downloaded file location and run

sudo dpkg -i  libssl0.9.8.deb

Then try installing virtualbox again.
