apt - Since ubuntu 16.04 LTS Software Updater fails with dpkg: error processing package virtualbox-qt - Ask Ubuntu


since ubuntu 16.04 lts software updater every time fails 

dpkg: error processing package virtualbox-qt (--configure):    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.

fully entry in /var/log/apt/term.log is:

dpkg: error processing package virtualbox (--configure):  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-qt:  virtualbox-qt depends on virtualbox (= 5.0.24-dfsg-0ubuntu1.16.04.1); however:   package virtualbox not configured yet.   package virtualbox-3.2 provides virtualbox not installed.  dpkg: error processing package virtualbox-qt (--configure):  dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

virtualbox virtualbox ose (open source edition) , have uninstalled , reinstalled using sudo apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-qt virtualbox-dkms already.

virtualbox , virtual machines running fine. above error comes every time software updater runs.

this not problem kernel module since loads without problems , virtualbox , virtual machines running fine.

the "package virtualbox-3.2" mentioned in error message seems rather old. bug virtualbox-qt? or how can solved?

there must have been broken files needs cleaning. how did uninstall virtualbox? try running following command clean install:

sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get --purge remove  sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get dist-upgrade sudo dpkg --configure -a

if still doesn't work afterwards, can post output of 

dpkg --list | grep virtualbox-qt
