The command should work. I would try again in case there was an error in the command.

Hi
I pasted

It does suggest unistaling Synaptic then reinstalling, a bit drastic!
Have you tried downloading Virtualbox to home directory and then installing it
(I assume you where "opening with gdebi" when dowloading)

I've run into a similar problem my self and helped some people with such problems
One guy found
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get check
use man apt-get to see all alternatives
One guy found
Then we haveI found the solution to the problem after googling around a little, and it is really very simple. It seems that the problem occurs when the *.bin files in
Code:
/var/cache/apt/
become corrupted. Why they become corrupted seems to be a mystery and I don't have the time or knowledge to try to dig any further into this. But apparently it seems to just happen... Confused
The solution is to delete all *.bin files in that directory (which requires using sudo). After doing that, both Synaptic and apt-get work fine for me. I hope that this information can help others who get this problem. Cool
