Thanks for what appears to be the solution.  It installed without any 
grief, and I've been using vbox for about 2 hours without any problems.

Only one comment: I looked in my package manager to find the repo you 
listed.  It appears to be there, but "launchpad.net" is in the link 
address right after "ppa:"  I assume that this doesn't suggest a problem 
of some kind.
