I am trying to install Virtualbox-4.3-4.3.6_91406_openSUSE114-1.x86_64.rpm from VirtualBox on my openSUSE 13.1 system. I had tried to install this on my opensuse 12.3 system, but it wouldn't install, so I have upgraded my system to opensuse 13.1. But it still won't install.

there is a later rpm: VirtualBox-4.3-4.3.6_91406_openSUSE123-1.x86_64

And I have it running fine on Tumbleweed.

Hi, the problem was that I didn't realize the rpm had changed. I had been running the 11.4 rpm version and kept updating it even on 12.3 without a hitch. It was only the last update to the newest 11.4 rpm that wouldn't install on 12.3 or 13.1. I downloaded the 12.3/13.1 version rpm from Virtualbox and it installed correctly now without any problems. I download the rpm directly from VirtualBox, as the opensuse virtualbox rpm hadn't worked for years. Glad to read that it is working now.
