You can run:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.bk

To clean that up. Try:

echo "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian precise contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list > /dev/null

wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get --purge remove virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-dkms

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.1

Alcuni pacchetti non possono essere installati. Questo può voler dire
che è stata richiesta una situazione impossibile oppure, se si sta
usando una distribuzione in sviluppo, che alcuni pacchetti richiesti
non sono ancora stati creati o sono stati rimossi da Incoming.
Le seguenti informazioni possono aiutare a risolvere la situazione:

I seguenti pacchetti hanno dipendenze non soddisfatte:
  virtualbox-4.1: Dipende: libc6 (>= 2.15) ma 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.10 sta per essere installato
                  Dipende: libpython2.7 (>= 2.7) ma non è installabile
                  Dipende: libqt4-opengl (>= 4:4.7.2) ma 4:4.6.2-0ubuntu5.4 sta per essere installato

ok you are using Precise. Run:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list

Change the word precise for the word lucid, then run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove virtualbox-4.1
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
sudo fuser -vvv /var/lib/dpkg/lock
sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
sudo cp -arf /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg.backup
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status
sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available-old /var/lib/dpkg/available
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists
sudo mkdir /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
LANG=C;sudo apt-get clean
LANG=C;sudo apt-get autoclean
LANG=C;sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824
sudo dpkg --clear-avail
sudo dpkg --configure -a
LANG=C;sudo apt-get -f install
LANG=C;sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
LANG=C;sudo apt-get update -o APT::Cache-Limit=25165824 && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.1

Just so you are aware, Lucid has about 9 months support left, so you may want to upgrade soon.
