Hi h2,
First, thanks for making this script. Probably zillions of sidux users rely on it secretly!

Since running an smxi upgrade on my sidux system on May 26 2010, I have not been able to install the latest version of virtualbox.

Each time I receive the error:
"ERROR: (190) Wget reports errors on download attempt for file: virtualbox-3.2_3.2.0-61806~Debian~lenny_amd64.deb

Is this a problem with smxi (unlikely)? Or is there some problem with my system (more likely)? How can I resolve this?

Thanks very much

Let me check, I don't use 64 bit and sometimes there are small differences between 32 and 64 bit.

That does appear to be your system, I tested:

wget --spider download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.2.0/virtualbox-3.2_3.2.0-61806~Debian~lenny_amd64.deb

and it works fine.

Make sure you actually have room on your system, inxi -pl

or: df -h
my guess is your partition is full, but it might be a connection issue.

No issues with the url that I can see, and it connects to it fine.

Think back if you can recall any errors, also remove the old file from /usr/src/svmi-downloads/vbox

Thanks!

I supposedly still have 14 gigs on my root directory.

Sorry but I didn't understand what inxi-pl is for. It it a command?

I think I have connection problems- the Great Firewall of China seems to block access to a very large range of things.

Thanks for being patient with the new guys who know nearly nothing about linux except how to type on it :)
