I'm not running ubuntu here, and I don't own a x64 system. Having said
that however, ubuntu is debian-based, and the procedures for
administering a x64 system should be the same as those for a x86
system. So, having said that, did you run

apt-get update

after modifying /etc/apt/sources.list?

Before you do that, you need to have a file called innotek.asc in your
current working directory, which contains innotek's gpg key. Also, I'm
not sure if there was a typo or not, but your command-line referred to
a file innotek.asc, while the gpg error referred to a file called
annotek.asc. If this is a typo, then that's understandable. If you
were using copy/paste, and this is really the output that gpg
returned, then something really strange is going on here.

It looks like you're missing some dependencies. If you really want to
use dpkg -i to install by hand, then you'll need to install the
missing dependencies first. Since virtualbox seems to be partly
installed anyway, just running

apt-get --fix-missing install virtualbox

may clear things up for you. This is off the top of my head, and I
haven't actually tried that syntax, so I maybe wrong here.

The easiest way of installing virtualbox from scratch, as someone else
already partly pointed out would have been to add the necessary line
to /etc/apt/sources.list as you've already done, run

apt-get update

and run

apt-get install virtualbox

I would suggest that you find ubuntu's documentation on package
management, and read up on that. Hth.
