The real error here is found in term.log:

Preparing to replace virtualbox-ose 1.5.0-dfsg2-1ubuntu3 (using
.../virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-
6ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script
returned error exit status 1

Visual inspection of the preinst doesn't turn up any likely culprits to
me.  'exit 1' precludes this being a debconf problem, leaving either the
conffile handling or the udev handling as possibilities.  Is this is
reproducible with a clean install of and upgrade from gutsy, by any
chance?
