Install using command line.
Run the following command
$sudo dpkg -i <path to virtual box .deb package>
If you get any dependency error run the following command
$sudo apt-get install -f
note : No need to run the command dpkg -i for installing the package after running the apt-get install -f command, which does two jobs of fixing dependenies and also installing the package
I hope this answer would help.
