I have a TailsOS Related Question: Can I run a virtual box inside tails? I would like to use VirtualBox to run some emulators on it. I tried to google it but it's always talking about tails inside a VM which is not what I am looking for.
output of cat /etc/*-release
is
TAILS_PRODUCT_NAME="Tails"
TAILS_VERSION_ID="3.2"
so i went for the deb9 stretch you recomendet as i try to install it prompts

Did that fix it? You usually have to run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get -f install after using dpkg to manually install stuff because apt-get normally runs dpkg for you and normally handles all of the dependencies so that this doesn't happen when installing stuff from the official repositories. Also, I actually prefer to use gdebi instead of dpkg because gdebi will take care of all of your dependencies automatically. Although, tails used to come with synaptic pre installed which also works well. More info: debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkgtools.en.html

Yes, you should be able to do this. However, because this is tails, you will have to re-install virtualbox each time you boot tails because tails is not persistent.
You should use the "Debian-based linux distributions" instructions.
And run the following command in a terminal to show which version of Debian you are using on tails so that you will know which version of Virtualbox to download:
cat /etc/*-release
Once you know which version of Debian (probably Debian 9 "stretch") that tails is using, download the corresponding version of Virtualbox from the page linked here.
To fix the dependency issue, please run the following commands in a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
Please post any errors, thanks!

Did that fix it? You usually have to run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get -f install after using dpkg to manually install stuff because apt-get normally runs dpkg for you and normally handles all of the dependencies so that this doesn't happen when installing stuff from the official repositories. Also, I actually prefer to use gdebi instead of dpkg because gdebi will take care of all of your dependencies automatically. Although, tails used to come with synaptic pre installed which also works well. More info: debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-pkgtools.en.html
