Breaks: debconf:i386 (< 1.5.61)
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

You have Kali in your sources list. If we look up debconf for Xenial (16.04), the latest version is 1.5.58ubuntu1 at the time of this writing. You have a newer debconf, probably from kali.



Kali's Packages list indicates that the latest version of debconf in kali is 1.5.66.



You probably also have perl-base from kali repository. perl-base is listed as breaking debconf << 1.5.61.



The problem is that you have multiple repositories with mutually exclusive dependencies - which will create problems. Kalis repositories is supposed to provide the whole system, not only parts of it.



You may have a look at this answer which discusses how to remove all packages from a particular repository, so that you can remove all Kali packages from your system, which should enable you to install virtualbox.
