Is anyone using VirtualBox on Linux Mint 19?

I followed the instructions at:

https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/linux-mint-how-tos/install-virtualbox-4-3-on-linux-mint-17.html

But when I got to sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.2 I get this error message.


dick@Linux-Mint-X200-Tablet:~$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.2

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-5.2 : Depends: libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2) but it is not going to be installed                   Depends: libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libvpx3 (>= 1.5.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Of course the web page instructions assume all went well, so they don't mention how to fix the broken packages. I tried running Fix Broken Packages in Symantic. I says they're fixed, but the error continues.

Clue stick appreciated.
