Public bug reported: dependencies missing for "apt-get install virtualbox" (not from virtualbox.org site, but using built in virtualbox-ose).. I manully installed headers (dependency missing?) but no directions on how to rebuild.. g++ needed also..
Adding virtualbox repo from virtualbox.org works fine...
