Hey guys, i a am using ParrotOS and trying to install virtualbox from .deb package and i got the following warning
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-7.0:
virtualbox-7.0 depends on libc6 (>= 2.34); however:
Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.31-13+deb11u6.
virtualbox-7.0 depends on libssl3 (>= 3.0.0~~alpha1); however:
Package libssl3 is not installed.
virtualbox-7.0 depends on libstdc++6 (>= 12); however:
Version of libstdc++6:amd64 on system is 11.2.0-18really16parrot1.
virtualbox-7.0 depends on libvpx7 (>= 1.10.0); however:
Package libvpx7 is not installed.
but it seems like ParrotOS repo outdated
so i add http://archive.ubuntu.com jammy main universe
to /etc/apt/sources.list
update repo list apt-get update
and then obtain libc6 package information
apt-cache policy libc6
libc6:
Installed: 2.31-13+deb11u7
Candidate: 2.31-13+deb11u7
Version table:
2.35-0ubuntu3 50

then install libc6 via sudo apt-get install libc6=2.35-0ubuntu3
BUT i got

What should i do?
Edit: format command output
mixing different linux releases (Parrot using Debian testing vs. Ubuntu LTS jammy) is a really bad idea and your packager manager warns you about this like it should
how about remove the added line in the sources.list, update/upgrade via apt and install virtualbox from the Parrot repositories instead?
Thank for pointing out the differences between repos
