. My Linux Version is 5.3.0-22-generic. The Destribution is Pop!_OS 19.10. Does anyone know how to solve this Problem?

Try the following command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libv/libvpx/libvpx5_1.7.0-3ubuntu0.19.04.1_amd64.deb &&
sudo apt -y install ./libvpx5_1.7.0-3ubuntu0.19.04.1_amd64.deb &&
sudo apt install -f; rm -f ./libvpx5_1.7.0-3ubuntu0.19.04.1_amd64.deb

No promises though, I'm running Kubuntu 19.10, but I believe the similarities in the two distributions should support that command sequence.

Can you try with the newly released 6.1.0? There's a new build available for Ubuntu "Eoan"/19.10:

The libvpx5 was successfully installed but after i tried the new Version from Virtualbox this occurred:

Error while installing package: »neues virtualbox-6.1-Skript des Paketes pre-installation«-Unterprozess gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück

Ok the Problem was the Test Build Version. I deleted the whole /opt/VirtualBox folder and now the Installation worked fine. I used the installation with the Packetmanager Eddy. Thank you all
