In the information that apt gave when you installed was a section that

For Virtualbox to work you have to have the kernel modules provided by
the package virtualbox-dkms for it to work. Why that's not a
dependency I can't tell you. I would also recommend that you install
virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-guest-additions-iso to get a complete
install of virtualbox.
I know that Ubunutu has turned on APT's system to automatically
install recommended packages. Mint must have turned that off. The
downside is obvious, you get broken or partially functional software,
the upside is that when you install stuff it can be smaller because it
doesn't drag in a whole bunch of other stuff automatically. I believe
that Ubuntu's setting has greatly helped promote the myth that KDE
programs are huge and bloated because when the Unity folks install a
KDE program is also brings in various other programs that aren't
essential to it's core functionality.... but then again, the programs
are feature rich when they do get on your system.
For Ubuntu people that don't want the bloat you can add the
--no-install-recommends to your apt-get command to tell it to just
install the program you are requesting and any of it listed
dependencies, but nothing else.
