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
                    Depends: python:amd64 (>= 2.7~) but it is not going to be 
installed
                    Depends: virtualbox-dkms:amd64 (>= 
5.0.12-dfsg-3ubuntu1~trusty1) but it is not installable or
                             virtualbox-source:amd64 (>= 
5.0.12-dfsg-3ubuntu1~trusty1) but it is not installable or
                             virtualbox-modules:amd64 but it is not installable
                    Recommends: virtualbox-qt:amd64 (= 
5.0.12-dfsg-3ubuntu1~trusty1) but it is not going to be installed

Different errors this time, though:

---

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.

** Changed in: virtualbox (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => New
