package qdbus 4:4.8.3+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: package qdbus is already installed and configured

[tao]

used Ubuntu software center to install VirtualBox. It hanged. I closed all programs, shutdown, and then rebooted, and found that VirtualBox was shown to have installed. I tried to use it but encountered an error that vboxdrv was not found and the message instructed me to use /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup to correct it. But the command was not there.

I then tried to use the Software Center to Remove VirtualBox. It hanged and prompted me to submit a bug report. here we are.
