Looking on the wine forum, running sage is a mix of alchemy and magic
spells. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but evidently possible. My
fall back, M.Y.O.B. (that we use) is also crippled.

You cannot install a new version of VirtualBox unless you uninstall the
old one first.
Uninstalling the old version will not delete your settings. I have
upgraded VirtualBox several times, and each time I have to remove the
old version (via Synaptic) and then install the new one, from the .deb

Have you tried using qemu with kqemu as an accelerator for it, also there
is a nice gnome frontend for it, i would suggest trying that.
