[vbox-dev] failure to get Virtualbox .deb file using sudo apt-get update

[Frank Mehnert]

Known problem, we are working on resolving this. The problem is that
Release/InRelease are not properly updated in the Debian repository.
Fixing this will take some more hours. In the meantime you could
download + install the .deb package manually.

Thanks,

Frank
