conflicting installation gives that error, do run the following command to fix, it will do the uninstall of that conflicting install and reinstall the most up to date libraries and apps to fix the breaking problem, then virtualbox 6.1.8 would run flawlessly, here it is running at ubuntu 21.04 dev zfs file system version on 4tera HD 4cpu 8gig ram AMD system.
$ sudo apt install virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-dkms virtualbox --fix-missing

Official Virtualbox does not use dkms, and the Guest Additions ISO comes automatically bundled with Virtualbox, not as a separate download.adani802 wrote:virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-additions-iso virtualbox-ext-pack virtualbox-dkms
I deduce that you are loading the Ubuntu fork of Virtualbox, not official Virtualbox. The fork is not supported on these forums.
Official Virtualbox has a Ubuntu 21.04 download here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

Also 6.1.8 is very old. The current version is 6.1.20
