https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads shows that Virtualbox is not ready for Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine) yet.

Try the test builds.

Or, you could try VirtualBox 6.1.0 that just came out... ;)

If you don't see it yet, wait for a couple of hours, the whole site is in the middle of getting a facelift...

Bionic is not Ubuntu 19.10, it's Ubuntu 18.04. You're downloading the wrong package, you're doing it wrong... ;)
