After killing the hung apt process I ran dpkg --configure -a , which
hung again.  Killing the hung dpkg process and running dpkg --configure
-a  again allowed the package installation to complete but resulted in a
broken module:

$ VirtualBox 
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
         Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate
         headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
