Hi,

What is the status of VirtualBox on Leap 16.0?

I have been told that on first run, an error message asks for make, gcc, and kernel-devel headers. Is this normal? Some people are angry about this.

Should we install the version from oss, or from virtualization repo?

opi:

You have selected package name: virtualbox
  1. repo-oss (16.0) +                         | 7.2.6                     | x86_64
  2. openSUSE:Leap:16.0 -                      | 7.2.6                     | x86_64
  3. Kernel:stable:Backport:KMP ?              | 7.2.10                    | x86_64
  4. Virtualization ?                          | 7.2.10                    | x86_64


Strange that (3), it wasn't there last week.
