VirtualBox 7.0.6 works great with Whonix.

VirtualBox feature request:

Quote please add VirtualBox to bookworm-fasttrack (#51) · Issues · Debian Fast Track / Support · GitLab

Just in case you didn’t notice, bookworm has been supported in the official repos since 18-Jul-2023.

Index of http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/bookworm

Although I prefer to wait for the fasttrack version, as it’s usually better integrated with the system.

Maybe Debian sid version virtualbox 7.0.10-dfsg-2 uploaded to Kicksecure repository will fix this. Will test.

Same issue on Debian testing (trixie).

Even worse, also breaks Debian stable (bookworm):

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox : Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 13.1) but 12.2.0-14 is to be installed
