Whatever

I have an HDD install of a 64bit 4.0.0-kali1 with Gnome 3 desktop, rolling release repositories, didn't add anything else.
I tried to get virtualbox through the terminal today and though it did install without a hitch the first time around it apparently failed to configure because when i tried to start it up I got an error...which I don't remember anymore (and didn't write down because I thought I can fix it >.<) Anyhow I tried to purge virtualbox and try again but now I'm getting the following output:

I'm kind of new to linux in general (and yes I know Kali isn't considered a beginner friendly distro) so I'm stumped on what to do. Are the duplicate entries a big problem? If yes how can I correct that? And why won't virtualbox configure correctly?
I also tries the following guides before:
http://www.computingforgeeks.com/2015/08/how-to-install-virtualbox-latest-on.html
http://www.iexplo1t.com/2015/03/Virtual-Box.html
http://cyberpedia.in/install-virtualbox-on-ubuntu-or-kali-linux/how-to-install-virtual-box-on-kali-linux-2-0-sana/
Any help is appreciated, even if you just tell me I really messed up the system and need to reinstall it.
Thanks in advance!
