Got same issue when upgrading to virtualbox 5 on Ubuntu 16.04.
Fix was to uninstall & purge all old virtualbox packages:
# Find your installed old packages with:
sudo dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
# Uninstall all packages listed:
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-qt virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-4.2
virtualbox-4.3 unity-scope-virtualbox
sudo apt-get autoremove
Then, try re-installing the new virtualbox:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox
I was using oracle deb repo packages, but should work for others.
