How I can completly reinstall VirtualBox 5.1?
When I want to start VirtualBox on my Ubuntu 18.04, I get a message like this:
VirtualBox: Error -610 in supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime!
VirtualBox: dlopen("/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so",) failed: <NULL>
VirtualBox: Tip! It may help to reinstall VirtualBox.
I tried to reinstall Virtualbox by following, but after that, the same message was there still:
sudo apt purge virtualbox
sudo apt install virtualbox
Now my question is: Are there things I have to do (or I can do) in addition to the apt command?
Thank you very much for an answer in advance
Edit: dpkg -S /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so prints
virtualbox: /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.so

Please add output ofdpkg -S /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxRT.soto the question. It is very likely that package is namedvirtualbox-5.1- so you should usesudo apt-get purge virtualbox-5.1andsudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1.
