Ok, made sure. Anyway, I never installed any ose package on that system.

But insted of using an apt-repo, I tried to download the binaries from the vbox page and simulated a manual installation:

# dpkg -i --simulate virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb (--install):
 Paket-Architektur (amd64) passt nicht zum System (i386)
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb

...which complains about wrong architecture (while installing the i386 package would seem to install fine). But as you can see from my uname output, I'm obviously running an amd64-kernel.

What's wrong here? Any ideas/suggestions?
You probably have "mixed" installation (i386 userland and amd64 kernel ) . I had once that .
(First installed i386 debian and next upgraded kernel to amd64  )

So you should install amd64 debian (entire system not only kernel) , or make small amd64 chrooted environment (in order to install VBox) (Once I did so . Now I come back to pure i386 :-)

For details search debian-amd64 list archives
