How to upgrade virtualbox 4.2 to 4.3 on debian wheezy with apt-get?


I'm running VirtualBox 4.2 and it keeps telling me that 4.3 is available for update. However when I do apt-get update and the apt-get upgrade I don't get any updates.


My sources.list contains deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ oneiric contrib. I can't remember why it has oneiric instead of wheezy, but changing that doesn't make any difference.



Answer



According to madison unless you are using old-stable (wheezy) you should have the 4.3 version. You may also enable wheezy-backports repositories.
