I have installed Ubuntu Server 12.04-4 LTS.

Set to /etc/apt/sources.list

After that I did

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.3

The Commandline below give me the Error "Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 207"

VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null

Than I downloaded the install the Extension Pack of Linux

wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/VERSION/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.6.vbox-extpack
VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.6.vbox-extpack

Got the same error like above with "Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 207"

Can anybody tell what is wrong? What is wrong with libxml?

Soluzione

Warning: program compiled against libxml 209 using older 207

It seems to be a warning and not an error so you don't have to take it so seriously :)

Besides, in your sources.list you should not be putting those extra repo since with 12.04 (precise) you should be ok. Those extra repos can cause a lot of trouble and interdependency problems if you don't take care.

So, I recommend you to only left your sources.list with the only needed for your distribution:

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib

Also, you can try to do a package upgrade with sudo apt-get update or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to see if the version issue dissapear with a libxml upgrade.

Also, you can try to force an update on libxml by issuing sudo apt-get install libxml to see if that solves your warning.

Altri suggerimenti

Are you installing the Extension Pack on the Host system or on the (Virtual) guest system? What is your Host system, assuming Ubuntu-server is the guest OS?

FYI: It should be installed on the Host system, and your regular username thatsme should be added to the vboxusers group 

    sudo usermod -aG vboxusers thatsme

As for the libxml errors, they should be harmless; feel free to check out this thread on the virtualbox forums, where a user has similar issues.
