That bug seems to be that the userland and kernel parts of virtualbox must have the same "width" to work correctly. In a multiarch world, that at least has a workaround: if your kernel is amd64 but your default architecture is i386, replace virtualbox/i386 with virtualbox/amd64 and it should be happy again. > and anything that uses libx86 won't work either (#492470). Is this the right bug? According to the reporter's reportbug System Information, he's running libx86/i386 on one of the i386 kernel flavours, and I don't see any indication that amd64 is involved at all.
