Check your software sources. Looks like you have a source for VirtualBox defined with Jaunty and Karmic lines - which if you're running Maverick (10.10) could cause problems. The line should look something like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib Once this is changed, update the package lists.
