this seems to be a python issue, can you install python:amd64? or
python2.7:amd64?
I wouldn't blame virtualbox for a python issue, maybe python/trusty isn't
multiarch?
>Different errors this time, though:
I don't care about the errors this time :)
you didn't build the dkms module, so the errors will be about a version
mismatch.

nope, until the dkms builds it, it won't help

no, please don't mix vbox from website with the ubuntu one, because if
you don't purge it, you won't have a working state.
so, please purge everything called virtualbox, specially virtualbox-5.0
(I really mean purge, not remove), try to install python2.7:amd64, and
then install virtualbox-dkms.
If you can't install python2.7 you won't be able to fix this issue, it
seems to be the culprit, regardless of who did build virtualbox.
cheers!

Added system-image-cli and dpkg reconfigured the initial machine and no
luck. Additionally no luck with adding the ppa and fresher virtualbox.
Got all the qt depends added, but there's still some python depends that
don't seem so easily resolved. FWIW:
---
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox:amd64 : Depends: python:amd64 (< 2.8) but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: python2.7:amd64 but it is not going to be installed

installed

RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)
The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.
The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing
'modprobe vboxdrv'
may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the
PUEL version of VirtualBox.
where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH
(-1912) - The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.
---
Of course, loading vboxdrv is not going to help. I tried purging and
reinstalling to no avail.
Noticing the OSE/PUEL issue, I started searching for licenses.
$ for thing in "$(lsmod | grep vbox | awk '{print $1}')"; do
> modinfo $thing | grep license; done
produces nothing but GPL. That's more or less the case with all of my
modules. And besides, my most recent version besides all this changes
was 4-something and PUEL is only applicable to earlier versions… except
for the Extension Pack.
So I grabbed the latest from the VBox website. Installed fine. Same
problems. I'm at a loss.
