[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] AMD64 Version of virtualbox for Debian Jessie

Fri Sep 5 18:32:32 UTC 2014

OK - did a complete removal of the virtualbox components shown by 
Synaptic Package Manager

Then apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade followed by a reboot

Then the apt-get install line from the Debian wiki after checking the 
sources.list:-
(I notice that virtualbox..._AMD64 is listed although I couldn't see it 
in the contrib on the mirror site)
However Synaptic shows only virtualbox and virtualbox-dkms are installed 
after this and virtualbox-4.3 line is blank and not installed

console log is shown below:-

_*cat /etc/apt/sources.list*_
