Hi,
Thanks Snafu, your solution works like a charm on bt5r3 kde 64bit

The following helped me

Code:

---

apt-get remove virtualbox

---

Which removed virtualbox but it did not remove virtualbox-ose-dkms which was giving me the same error as OP.

Code:

---

apt-get remove virtualbox-ose-dkms

---

The following worked and installed the newest version of virtualbox cleanly no errors!

Code:

---

prepare-kernel-sources
cd /usr/src/linux
cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/
wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.2.6/virtualbox-4.2_4.2.6-82870~Ubuntu~lucid_i386.deb
 dpkg -i virtualbox-4.2_4.2.6-82870~Ubuntu~lucid_i386.deb
