VirtualBox on BackTrack4 R2(Ubuntu)


Hi,
I've been trying to install VirtualBox on BT4 R2 (Ubuntu based distro), but getting the following error

Code:
dpkg -i virtualbox-4.0_4.0.4-70112~Ubuntu~maverick_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package virtualbox-4.0.
(Reading database ... 257490 files and directories currently installed.)

Errors were encountered while processing:

I then followed the steps written at h77p://www.backtrack-linux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_Virtual_Box
Then to install headers, I tried running
Code:
 dpkg --force-depends -i virtualbox-4.0_4.0.4-70112~Ubuntu~maverick_i386.deb
The output of his command was

After that, I ran
Code:
uname -a
and an this command
Code:
apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.35.8

It's output was

Backtrack 4 is Ubuntu 8.10, AFAIK.

I.e. an Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick package is not supposed to work on BT 4.
