VirtualBox and Python version conflict

I am running Debian (buster) with Cinnamon as window manager. Recent update of this window manager required Python update so my current Python version is 3.6.5-3... but on the other hand virtualbox requires Python version <3.6 so it got uninstalled during update. As a result my vagrant setup cannot run.
I tried to downgrade Python but as a result Cinnamon was unable to start so that's not an option but it would be kinda nice to be able to use vagrant as well so the question is: can I somehow resolve this conflict without containers? Or should I use dockerized virtualbox?

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox : Depends: python3 (< 3.6) but 3.6.5-3 is to be installed
Recommends: virtualbox-qt (= 5.2.18-dfsg-1~bpo9+1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Why not install all packages from distro package manager?
