Hi,

I've read the thread until Gregory's message from 2017-12-02T00:10Z but
figured my reply would fit in better here.

Neither do I. All I needed was, if you put it in a single apt-get
command, on a jessie *only* system

sudo apt-get install linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 virtualbox

I did not need a "headers all" or linux-source package. Everything else
needed is pulled in via dependencies.

Here's a few questions though, do you have other kernel images
installed? Which kernel are you running when you try to install
virtualbox? The following should help answering these

dpkg-query -W | grep linux-image
uname -a

Hope this helps,
