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.
