Description
I had installed Virtual Box on Ubuntu 13.10 or maybe 13.04 and it's been months since the last time I used it. I haven't done anything to upgrade VirtualBox yet. Though I would expect it to get automatically updated as EVERYTHING else does in Ubuntu, I guess it won't, and I guess it will prompt me to reinstall it the next time I run it (that's how it has always worked in the past), but in the meantime i at least expect it to not give me trouble while I DON'T EVEN USE it.
So, Since I have upgraded Ubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04, EVERY TIME I boot, I get a popup of Ubuntu's titled Crash Report, that says that an error occurred while "installing" software, and the package name is VirtualBox (see screenshot).
Actually I'm not sure whether this happens at every boot, or on boot after installing updates that require a boot to finish. I can't tell for sure because i rarely reboot.
What is the output of
Also, VirtualBox is not updated automatically unless you added the VirtualBox repository to your /etc/apt.sources.list file.
