Thanks mneno, you've got it.

The error is most probably triggered by the following part of the 
virtualbox-ose.preinst script in 2.0.2
============= 
if [ "$1" = "upgrade" -a "$new" != "$old" ]; then
        db_title Upgrading virtualbox-ose
        db_fset virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change seen false
        db_input high virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change || true
        db_go
        db_get virtualbox-ose/upstream_version_change || true
        if [ "$RET" = false ]; then
                db_stop
                exit 1
        fi
        db_stop
fi
========

Can anyone confirm that you've answered "no" to the question "Proceed
with virtualbox-ose upgrade despite losing snapshots?" ?

Thanks in advance.
