My platform is 64bit, and is up to date as of 7am today.

Following along with the directions here:
<https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads>

I add the repository line:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian oneiric contrib

In a terminal I download the Oracle public key and register it with:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc 
-O- | sudo apt-key add -

I then do the install:
sudo apt-get update

I don't get as far as the install (sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.1) 
because I get this message:
W: Failed to fetch 
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/dists/oneiric/Release 
Unable to find expected entry 'contrib/source/Sources' in Release file 
(Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old 
ones used instead.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug at the Oracle end?
