I have solved the issue manually. No help from update and upgrade. This is how solved it:-

1. Download the official oracle ext package from here https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.2.10/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.2.10.vbox-extpack and choose to open with Virtual box.

2. After successful installation of above extension package, removed the virtualbox-ext-pack package with "sudo apt remove virtualbox-ext-pack" command. See the output here:-
$ sudo apt remove virtualbox-ext-pack
