dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of virtualbox:
virtualbox depends on libxalan110; however:
Package libxalan110 is not installed.
virtualbox depends on libxerces27; however:
Package libxerces27 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing virtualbox (--install):

See http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/34
They say:
1. Install packages "libc6-dev" and "linux-libc-dev" 2. Uninstall 1.3.2 package 3. Install 1.3.4 package
Now you should be running 1.3.4 with no problems.

BUT:
me@splatform:~/Desktop$ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev linux-libc-dev

libc6-dev is already the newest version.
linux-libc-dev is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox: Depends: libxalan110 but it is not installable
Depends: libxerces27 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
me@splatform:~/Desktop$
Did that, removed virtualbox, those pkgs were still there. Reinstalled virtualbox, same complaints.
