I know. But that's not the problem: Trying to install in F14:

"rpm -U VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.8_64453_fedora13-1.i686.rpm" is rejected
by:

error: Failed dependencies: libpython2.6.so.1.0 is needed by
VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.8_64453_fedora13-1.i686
python(abi) = 2.6 is needed by VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.8_64453_fedora13-1.i686

so I used: --nodeps (quick and dirty)
