Hi,
A few weeks ago I could install virtualbox on stretch w/o any problem.
Now I try to install on a different computer and have the broken packages error shown below.
At the same time I have installed:
i libssl1.0.2 - Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries
i libssl1.1 - Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - shared libraries
I also installed vpx-tools
I also have
i linux-image-amd64 - Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
What can I do?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

Re: debian stretch - virtualbox - missing packages
Installing VirtualBox may trigger this but the issue is missing packages in the host OS. There are a few things you can try but anything more you need to contact the distors forum for advise.
In an elevated terminal type the following ( note any errors that you get )
