Merged topics, duplicates are a no-no.

I have very little experience with Linux, but a web-search on "This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register." says this is a problem that happens for other reasons than Virtualbox. Try web-searching how to fix it using the error message as search terms.
