Cannot install virtualbox 6.1 on Ubuntu 20.04. The following packages have unmet dependencies

As tittle said, I tried to search for solutions but I can't find anything. Can you suggest another software beside virtualbox? Thank you.

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-6.0

  1. After doing some research I follow a guide I just change the server to download package and it works like a charm.

    Press simultaneously Alt and F2 on your computer, type in
    software-properties-gtk
    and press Enter. In the Ubuntu Software tab, make sure that all the repositories (main, universe, restricted, multiverse) are enabled. Click the list of servers where it says Download from, and choose Click Select Best Server. Press Alt, Ctrl and T simultaneously to open a Terminal, and type in

    sudo apt update

    then press Once it’s done running, try installing the software again.
