FYI: The 6.0 final installs OK. See:
https:/
(and it worked for me...).
However, there IS still a BUG in systemd (which is where this bug should be moved - it isn't a virtualbox bug) as it shouldn't be possible for a package installation to crash systemd!

Happens to me to.
First seen when trying to install 5.2.22.
I abandoned that, cleared things up and re-installed 5.2.20 - which worked OK.
I've just tried installing 6.0.3-BETA3. That suffered this issue too.
I cleared things up (didn't wait for the install to "finish") and tried re-installing 5.2.20. This is also now suffering this issue.
