It probably is based on the fact that you're having problems. Correctly
installed VB runs right "out of the box."

Is dkms installed on your host machine? You will also need the specific
kernel headers for your kernel(s). And, of course, you'll need the
compiler gcc and all its various header files and dependencies. Read
the VirtualBox manual. It covers all the steps to do before actually
installing VirtualBox. I'd also download the VirtualBox .deb file
directly from VB's web site and use it instead of the version in
Buster's repo. That way VB's repo will be installed and configured,
too, so you will get the most current updates.
