I get this error when I try to install virtualbox4.3.0 " breaks existing package that conflict: "vitrualbox" but the '/home/username/documents/vm/virtualbox 4.3.0-89960_ubuntu-raring_amd.64 provides it via "virtualbox'
I am runing 64 bit ubuntu (raring 13.10) I had the default virtualbox installed and I deleted this and the vm I had created I removed I have looked in the user manual and cannot find any answers to this can you help?

Use gdebi to install instead of their software center or use dpkg.
