Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are mixing package from ubuntu repository with external package (virtualbox-3.1 0:3.1.2-56127_Ubuntu_karmic). Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

I'd consider this as proper bug report as it launches apport and there isn't any "priority" method for packages used? Afaik virtualbox-guest-additions package has been always the same in both repositories, so could there be any priority method in installing these packages to bypass these apport reports?
