While VirtualBox was broken this week, I had tried various things (
snapshot.debian.org, virtualbox.org, etc), but once I learned that the fix
had been uploaded to stable, I made sure my sources.list was "clean" of
anything non-Debian, but didn't think to look in my sources.list.d
directory for additional "add-ons". I found that I did have a virtualbox
file in that directory, which I have since removed.
But if I'm understanding this error, for some months (years?), I've been
pulling VirtualBox from virtualbox.org instead of from Debian, and whilst
doing that, had configured my VMs with USB support. And my fix should just
be to disable the USB support in my VMs, but those options are grayed
(because my VMs are in a saved state, maybe?). Once I get this figured out,
I suspect VirtualBox will work. I'll let you know.
