Virtualbox in Scorpion (2.3)

I am trying to install Virtualbox and coming across some errors with package versions. When I try to install (after adding Virtualbox repository) I get the following...

Virtualbox-5.1

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-5.1 : Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
                  Recommends: linux-image but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Virtualbox-5.0

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-5.0 : Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libssl1.0.0 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.0.0) but it is not installable
                  Recommends: linux-headers but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have checked installed packages and I have these installed

libpng16-16________version 1.6.28-1
libssl1.0.2_________version 1.0.2k-1
libvpx4____________version 1.6.1-2
linux-image-amd64__version 4.9+78

Any suggestions?

Re: Virtualbox in Scorpion (2.3)

If you are using 'qrepoadd' utility, you need to manually replace 'jessie' with 'stretch' in the virtualbox sources list, this glitch will be fixed as soon as possible.
$ sudo qrepoadd virtualbox
now replace 'jessie' with 'stretch' in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/q4p-virtualbox-*.list
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1

Alternatively you can follow instructions here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

We have successfully tested both methods above.
