Can you show the output of "apt-cache policy virtualbox virtualbox-qt" after an "apt-get update"?

In theory you should see version 4.3.28-dfsg-1kali1+b1 of both packages... and the upgrade should not cause any problem, it's just that both packages must be upgraded together.

If the upgrade still fails, can you try to do "apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-qt" and show the error?

Did you put some package on "hold" or did you add custom apt pinning that would forbid APT to do it job?

This shows that you don't have Kali 2.0 in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Ensure you have "sana" and not kali as distribution name there...

deb http://http.kali.org/kali sana main contrib non-free
