[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] AMD64 Version of virtualbox for Debian Jessie

Fri Sep 5 19:03:05 UTC 2014

There seems to be the residual from your previous install from unofficial
sources.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-qt:
 virtualbox-qt depends on virtualbox (= 4.3.14-dfsg-1); however:
  Package virtualbox is not configured yet.
  Package virtualbox-4.3 which provides virtualbox is not installed.

You may have removed the previous package but not purged everything.

Keep in mind that most of the users these days (incluing me) are on arch
amd64 and are using virtualbox 4.3.14.
So a bug that basic being missed is highly unlikely.
