Running the following commands should set the system up correctly:
apt-get install linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64
(The last command may fail if your system is not fully updated.)
apt-get install linux-headers-amd64
There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root.
Kernel version is 4.12.0-1-amd64, but the first suggested command installing linux-headers-4.12.0-1-amd64 can't find the package.

I have been trying to get this to work for some days now and depend on VB for my work. Any help much appreciated.
