apt - Virtual Box 5.1.22 Installation Failure




each time i try install the virtualbox 5.1.22 application it fails because of the following dependencies:



Please help.




The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-5.1 : Depends: libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libqt5core5a (>= 5.6.0~beta) but 5.4.2+dfsg-2ubuntu9 is to be installed
Depends: libqt5printsupport5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.6.0~beta) but 5.4.2+dfsg-2ubuntu9 is to be installed
Depends: libqt5x11extras5 (>= 5.6.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libvpx3 (>= 1.5.0) but it is not installable
Recommends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: pdf-viewer



As the first step try this commands to add universe and multiverse repositories for some libraries:



sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade



Then try this command to remove previews libraries:



sudo dpkg -r libqt5core5a libqt5widgets5 


Then try to install depends libraries:



sudo apt install libpng16-16 libqt5core5a libqt5printsupport5 libqt5widgets5 libqt5x11extras5
sudo apt -f install



And then try to install virtualbox:



sudo apt install virtualbox
