Since you are using Testing, we expect you to be able to do some searches and troubleshooting;

If you did, you would find this >> https://packages.qa.debian.org/v/virtua ... 3909Z.html because of this >> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=794466

Thank you.

A hint that you really shouldn't be running testing yet is if you go ahead and install potentially risky Ubuntu PPAs without even checking to see if Debian has the same version of the same gns3 package in its own repositories--which it does.

Debian stable has the same version of gns3, too.
