Ubuntu – Upgrade to 17.04 kills virtualbox

I've got the same issue here. The downloaded packages are *.deb files, but clicking the downloaded file in Chrome opens the Software app, and I get the Install screen, but clicking the install button does nothing whatsoever.

I've had to resort to installing those packages from the terminal using sudo apt install followed by the full path to the deb file. This does work, but it's a little annoying.

OK. Figured out the problem here. My kernel modules hadn't been deleted from the previous install of virtualbox when I uninstalled. So when I ran modinfo vboxdrv, it said I was using the kernel drivers for 5.0.4.

I deleted everything in the path to the filename given in the modinfo output and rebooted. Installing virtualbox and starting vms worked after that.
