Hi out there,
you like to install your Orcale Virtualbox but running into something pyhton related like this ?:
sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-6.1_6.1.10-138449\~Ubuntu\~eoan_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 220352 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack virtualbox-6.1_6.1.10-138449~Ubuntu~eoan_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking virtualbox-6.1 (6.1.10-138449~Ubuntu~eoan) over (6.1.8-137981~Ubuntu~eoan) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-6.1:
virtualbox-6.1 depends on python (<< 2.8); however:
Package python is not installed.
virtualbox-6.1 depends on python (>= 2.7); however:
Package python is not installed.
virtualbox-6.1 depends on python:any (>= 2.6.6-7~); however:
dpkg: error processing package virtualbox-6.1 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Then just install :
sudo apt-get install python-is-python2
and your problem is solved.
Simple as that.
