download VBox directly from Oracle including the extension pack, copy the Buster .deb file to /tmp and install it with dpkg -i.

The realy sad part is. I only need it to get my VDI running inside of citrix, which won't work under linux (anymore).
And all left over computers only have 4GB RAm, so I go for bare metal for now.

It works even better than on the bare metal because you can freeze the little fucker if it tries one of it's "let's update the system for seven hours" tricks.

I guess I'll have to install a win on bare metal (very depressing).

If you still want to use it then see https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debi … 2Buster.22

Those solutions are for Debian buster but they should also work for Devuan beowulf. Be aware that the Devuan developers strongly recommend that you *do not* use any non-Devuan repositories so follow this method at your own risk.

it seems virtualbox has not specificly set that one up.
Do I "just" use buster and debian?, like:
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian buster contrib
