    Trouble installing Virtualbox 6.1.10 on Linux Mint 19.3

    So this is more of an error in upgrading, I have a Virtualbox 5.x.x installed and I uninstalled the program and did a restart on the machine. When i tried to install Virtualbox 6.1.10 I kept getting this error and I idk why. I already looked for those two dependencies and made sure they were installed. Any help would be appreciated.

    mint@mint-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.0 -y

    Thread moved to MINT for a more appropriate fit.

    You need to use the Oracle Virtualbox repos to get the most recent version, 6.1.10.
    You will then need to install package virtualbox-6.1, not 6.0
