Description (last modified by Michael Thayer)

I downloaded the package for Ubuntu 16.04 from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/5.1.28/virtualbox-5.1_5.1.28-117968~Ubuntu~xenial_amd64.deb

By double-clicking on it it opens with Ubuntu Software Whatever, an "install" button shows up. That doesn't work, https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=84623&sid=255ddb223689adba4a433f51a9e7500d&p=401997#p401997it just shows a progress bar for a fraction of a second and then the button appears again, it does nothing, gives no error message. But that probably is a bug in Ubuntu.

So in a terminal I did:

$ sudo apt install ./virtualbox-5.1_5.1.28-117968-Ubuntu-xenial_amd64.deb 

And this is the output:

And after installing manually, does it work?
