System crash after running apt dist-upgrade. Been happening for some time, tracked dow to virtualbox-dkms. removed virtualbox-dkms* from /var/lib/dpkg/info then ran sudo apt dist-upgrade.

All appeared well but a few seconds later system crash report appeared...

Interesting better remove use an older kernel update vbox and then go back with the newer one

It is trying to use the old 6.1.10 not the new 6.1.16
