I want to install VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host, so I run:
sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
which gives me THIS ugly mess

So now, I'm going with Plan B.
- sudo apt-get install software–properties–common
- wget –q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian focal contrib"
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt install virtualbox-6.1
However, I *still* get the same error.

The difference is, this time VirtualBox starts.
Interestingly, when I start VirtualBox, I am immediately chastised for having an out of date version of the extensions (!), and it walks me through downloading and applying the latest version.
