In the future: you might consider reading the entirety of the original
post.
Kaye is running Debian Buster and virtualbox is not available in Buster.
Hence the need to obtain it from a 3rd party repository (one provided by
Oracle/VirtualBox in this case). Your suggestion, which would work for
someone running Debian Sid, will not work in this case.
