I am newbie in ubunut and I am really confused in the installation of virtual box for college assignments. I am asking this on a new thread intentionally even though many existing threads try to resolve an almost identical issue. I have tried almost everything given on the identical issues but I seem to be getting anywhere and I am still getting this message after running.

sudo dpkg -i  virtualbox-5.0_5.0.20-106931-Ubuntu-trusty_i386.deb

I am getting this error.

Unpacking virtualbox-5.0 (5.0.20-106931~Ubuntu~trusty) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox-5.0:
 virtualbox-5.0 depends on libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2).
 virtualbox-5.0 depends on libpython2.7 (>= 2.7).
 virtualbox-5.0 depends on libsdl1.2debian (>= 1.2.11).
 virtualbox-5.0 depends on psmisc.

Just run sudo apt-get install -f

If that doesn't work, try installing GDebi - a graphical installer for Deb packages - that'll manage everything.

Instead of downloading and installing the .deb package, you may try to use the Oracle-VirtualBox repository to install the software.
