It appears that you've solved your problem. Great job! Looks like this is a duplicate of Bug #1608208. Fix I found was to uninstall & purge all old virtualbox packages prior to installing the new version, as you've done. ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1608208 package virtualbox 5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617735 Title: virtualbox failed to install on upgrade from manual install virtualbox-4.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1617735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
