Hi Gianfranco,

>> how?

I was wondering if anyone had version 5.2.18-dfsg-2 installed and didn't do updates ever since, but this is a rare case.

>>5.2.18-dfsg-2~ubuntu18.04.1 updates (multiverse) 2018-11-26
>>5.2.10-dfsg-6 release (multiverse) 2018-04-27

Since you already did the checking that 5.2.18-dfsg-2 is not available any more in the archives we can go with your version for sure, that's not a problem.

Sorry if I it sounded harsh when I said it was incorrect, just wanted to point at possible update problems if a user still had the 5.2.18-dfsg-2 version installed.

Do you want me to provide the update, or do you want to do it since you're the current maintainer of virtualbox?

Also, did you have trouble with virtualbox on cosmic? With the lack of wsimport (openjdk-11 change), it is almost impossible to build the project right now.
