我正在运行 debian 7 并尝试使用以下命令安装 virtualbox：
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
并得到这个输出：

答案1
这篇（法语）文章描述了 Debian 上的相同错误：Virtualbox 和 vboxdrv
解决方案是删除两个文件并重新安装 Virtualbox，如下所示
rm -r /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
rm -r /var/lib/update-rc.d/vboxdrv
apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-additions virtualbox-qt
文章还列出了适用于 Fedora 的解决方案：
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
后来有一条评论说apt-get purge virtualbox应该使用 而不是apt-get remove，这也会删除初始化脚本，所以这也许是问题的真正原因，只需执行 即可解决purge。

收到该错误后，尝试 apt-get -f install 强制安装由于错误而未加载的文件。然后再次尝试 apt-get upgrade，来回 apt-get -f install 直到只剩下出现错误的软件包。
