You are having dependency issue. Run

# apt install -f

To fix dependencies

Or use apt directly

# apt install ./virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431-Debian-stretch_amd64.deb

Which will fix dependency issues too.

You are having dependency issue. Run

# apt install -f

To fix dependencies

Or use apt directly

# apt install ./virtualbox-5.2_5.2.0-118431-Debian-stretch_amd64.deb

Which will fix dependency issues too.
