[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#691148: Please package virtualbox 4.2.2

[Sjoerd Simons]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1.1
Severity: wishlist

Hey,

While virtualbox 4.1.18 seems to work well, its guest additions can't cope with
newer kernels (e.g. 3.5) and newere Xorg (1.13). Even though these aren't
the default in debian yet, this makes it hard to run a virtualbox iwth guest
additions for other linux based platforms. Having virtualbox 4.2.2 available
(e.g. in experimental) would be very nice
