4 years ago ...2 days later I got the following: The following packages have been kept back: virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt So I (unfortunately) did "sudo apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt" ...thereafter I got broken dependency and could not install new version of the extension pack
To solve this, I uninstalled everything "virtualbox" related: sudo apt purge virtualbox virtualbox-dkms virtualbox-qt + the extension pack including "sudo apt autoremove" afterwards, with sudo apt update in the end.
Thereafter, went to virtualbox.org and installed virtualbox 6.1.16 + extension pack 6.1.16 and now everything is OK.

Expected behavior: starting virtualbox WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist. Please install the virtualbox-dkms package and the appropriate headers, most likely linux-headers-generic.
