Hi Keith,

I have Virtualbox 6.1.14 on my computer.

When I run

# apt install virtualbox

the output is:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package virtualbox is a virtual package provided by:
  virtualbox-6.1 6.1.14-140239~Debian~buster
  virtualbox-6.0 6.0.24-139119~Debian~buster
  virtualbox-5.2 5.2.34-133893~Ubuntu~bionic
You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package 'virtualbox' has no installation candidate

Kind regards
Georgi
