Downloaded it. First, it refused to install because it conflicted with 
"virtualbox-ose". So I did:

sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-ose

Tried again to install it. Now I get:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt4-core

So I tried:

sudo apt-get libqt4-core

but apt-get said it couldn't find it.

Just for fun, I now tried:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox

and apt-get replies with: "Couldn't find package virtualbox"

Evidently, my system is completely hosed now.
