Bug Description

[ General info ]

the new hwe stack updated xorg to 1.20, so virtualbox-hwe needs a no-change rebuild against it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
2. Install HWE into it
3. Try to install virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe package

Expected result:
* virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe is installed

Actual results:
* virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe is not installed, show errors:

$ sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe

+Gianfranco,

Thanks for rebuilding to fix the dependency issue. I am unclear if this will be pushed to the main repos or do we need to get the updated packages from your ppa?

Hello Norbert, or anyone else affected,

Accepted virtualbox-hwe into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-hwe/5.2.18-dfsg-3~ubuntu18.04.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I was a bit confused at first since the SRU acceptance comment mentioned 5.2.18-dfsg-3~ubuntu18.04.2 but testing (and -proposed) 5.2.18-dfsg-3~ubuntu18.04.3. But I guess .2 was FTBFS so it was followed up with .3 without an acceptance comment.

  * Fixup java breakage and switch to java11 (this fixes a build failure).
