Description
Sorry, no idea if this is a VirtualBox issue or a dpkg issue but...
...trying to install VirtualBox to anywhere other than /usr seems to fail as, I'm assuming, there is a hard coded path to $instdir/bin/debconf somewhere in the installer.
I've downloaded the Ubuntu 22.04 deb from the website and running sudo dpkg -i --instdir /opt/virtualbox/v7.0.18 virtualbox-7.0_7.0.18-162988~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb results in:
dpkg: regarding .../virtualbox-7.0_7.0.18-162988~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb containing virtualbox-7.0, pre-dependency problem: virtualbox-7.0 pre-depends on debconf (>= 1.1) | debconf-2.0 debconf is not installed. debconf-2.0 is not installed. dpkg: error processing archive ./virtualbox-7.0_7.0.18-162988~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb (--install): pre-dependency problem - not installing virtualbox-7.0 Errors were encountered while processing: ./virtualbox-7.0_7.0.18-162988~Ubuntu~jammy_amd64.deb
