Let me add one comment on how I solved that. After trying to de-install and re-install virtual box a couple of times via synaptic which was not successfull at all I finally had a look at Sun's webpages. The Sun download center provides the most current version of virtual box, version 1.6.
see this url: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter;pgid=01RgaHqkAdxSR0EUQncsoQ3D0000imVGdCuA;sid=WGeyHNciHe2yGJ8JErf6GTiEKhJZnxpnDYV93co8ADm-Kw== With that it actually worked and I was able to re-install virtual box plus have all the already installed virtual machines back.
