vbox for 3.0 ?

I installed virtualbox from ascii-backports,
now I changed sources.list to beowulf, made upgrade and dist-upgrade, but got problem of vbox:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 virtualbox-ext-pack : Depends: virtualbox (>= 5.2.24-dfsg-0~) but it is not installed or
                                virtualbox-5.2 but it is not installable
                       Depends: virtualbox (< 5.2.24-dfsg-z) but it is not installed or

I thought packages from ascii-backports should be in beowulf, but it is not, and there is no beowulf-backports

Re: vbox for 3.0 ?

Virtualbox was removed from Debian Buster in April
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1038163 … m-testing/
virtualbox: might not be suitable for stable releases due to lack of cooperation from upstream on security support for older releases
