Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
The interesting lines from the logfile are
Purging configuration files for virtualbox-ose ...
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force)
dpkg: error processing virtualbox-ose (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1
As both the ose and the non-ose version are using the
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv the update-rc.d remove call fails because the non-
ose /etc/init.d/vboxdrv exists.
As a quick and dirty workaround open /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-ose.postrm
as root in your favorite editor and insert a # at the beginning of the lines
if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
update-rc.d vboxdrv remove >/dev/null || exit $?
fi
So they should become
# if [ "$1" = "purge" ] ; then
# update-rc.d vboxdrv remove >/dev/null || exit $?
# fi
