Added HWE today, Ubuntu would not reboot.
Restored previous build, removed Virtual Box using Ubuntu Software Center
Re-installed HWE.  Installation successful.
Re-installed Virtual Box using Ubuntu Software Center
Installation failed (re-building kernel?)
Removed Virtual Box using Ubuntu Software Center
Installed Virtual Box using instructions at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
All is good now.

So why does Ubuntu Software Center still push a bad installation of
Virtual Box?  Shouldn't the version in Software Center be removed?
