I pasted exactly the line you gave in your previous post into my
/etc/apt/sources.list on a debian etch x86 system, and ran apt-get
update. It worked just fine, the only error being that it couldn't
find innotek's gpg key, which is to be expected. I do however see
where the problem is though. Make sure that what you have in your
/etc/apt/sources.list reads "feisty", and not "fiesty". What you
posted to the list read correctly, but the only explanation for the
above error would be a typo in your actual
/etc/apt/sources.list. Again, if you actually copied and pasted the
relevant line from /etc/apt/sources.list verbatim into your previous
e-mail, instead of typing it, then something weird is going on
here. If you merely typed it into your message, then go back and look
at your actual /etc/apt/sources.list, you most likely have a typo in
there that you didn't make when posting your previous message.

Ok, but we still haven't established whether or not you have a file
called innotek.asc in your current directory. If you don't, then the
above won't work obviously. You can either download that file to your
current directory, and run apt-key again, or you can do this:

apt-key add http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/innotek.asc

This of course assumes that apt-key can deal with urls, which I think
it can.

If apt-get -f install ran ok, then the package is most likely
installed and configured, including dependencies. You can verify this
with:

aptitude show virtualbox

If that says the package is installed, and doesn't complain that the
package needs to be configured, then your most likely fine, and you
can start using the program. As for apt-get update, see above. You
won't actually need to worry about apt-get update anymore for now,
until a new version of the package is released. Also, you'll continue
to get that error when you run apt-get update, unless you either
remove that line from /etc/apt/sources.list, or unless you fix it.

See above.
