Recent versions of VirtualBox (7.1.18, 7.2.8) can cause a system crash during package upgrades, VMs may fail to start

So VirtualBox 7.2.10 was out containing the fix. I’ve been using it just fine I think.

If you did this before,

@eternity

sudo apt-mark hold virtualbox-7.1 virtualbox-7.2

You may want to undo that with sudo apt-markunholdvirtualbox-7.1 virtualbox-7.2 before doing the usual package upgrades.
