[erik]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-2+deb7u1_i386
Followup-For: Bug #693731

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
I tryed to install virtualbox after a clean installation.
I did apt-get install virtualbox
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I tryed to install first virtualbox-dkms or virtualbox-qt, but get the same
outcome; virtualbox has to be configured first, but is exited with error 1.
I also tryed to install linux-headers, gcc, make, dkms, qtlib4, qtlib4-core,
qtlib4-gui.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
The problem is still the same:
apt-get install virtualbox
....
The following extra packages will be installed:
  virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt
