I have successfully fixed the issue in my Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Check the package
dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox
Uninstall from system
sudo apt-get remove unity-scope-virtualbox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox-5.1
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/..._vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Finally install it:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1
This fixed the issue for me
