then, seemingly, it recommends installing the build dependencies of git, which seems... wrong unless one is going to build it, which the answer does not seem to recommend
so why did that answer get 4 upvotes?
it goes on to mention that one need not use git to download repositories because there is another way of doing it
but, that is not the only use of git
that answer got 9 invisible low-rep/unregistered user upvotes too
it also got 12 invisible downvotes, but that is not surprising
the question itself has 6 such upvotes
I am really curious about what situation this Q&A can be helping people in
I assume visitors got there by searching "Not found" error message and didn't see the Ubuntu version. The answer may work on currently supported releases since apt update would refresh the available package cache.
@Kulfy I actually suspect this person is not reviewing in good faith at all, so I think they just want to pass audits so they can continue to cause havoc
@Kulfy it's like step 1 do nothing in particular, step 2 do not much of anything, step 3 do something that can't possibly make any difference...
@Zanna The time difference between the edit submission and suggestion is ~2 mins. So maybe they were thinking what to change while you submitted the edit.
@Zanna The problem appears to be on the host side (in VirtualBox on the host, not in the guest system) and the host strongly appears to be Windows bases on "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso" in the error message. So it's probably off-topic.
