Download the .deb directly from Oracle's web site.  This is the way I've
always installed Virtualbox.  Never used the Debian repo versions
ever.  Don't forget the Host Extensions package. 

To help installing the .deb file, install gdebi-core (commandline
version) from Buster's repo.  It will take care of dependencies
which dpkg does not.
