Because they are different versions (3.0 vs 3.1), 3.1 needs to be
installed directly. Open synaptic, reload your updates, search on
virtualbox, and install 3.1 directly - that will remove 3.0 if you have
room, export your machines, or make a backup of your VMs. Be sure to
update your guest addions to 3.1.4 after you load your VM.
