For me, the last Oracle-released Virtualbox package that got installed was a recent 5.0.x one. The 5.1.x need qt5 and some differently-named packages as dependencies, so there were efforts to roll OI's own. I did not yet look into replacing its config-scripts or whether that would help. Sorry, on the road - can't help more ATM.
