Following the alternative way of downloading from Oracle, as indicated in Debian Wiki guide,
the installation process ended with:
"vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why."
and dmesg tells:
"[43186.988394] vboxdrv: Requires SSE2 (cpuid(0).EDX=0x383fbff)".

Effectively my CPU features SSE, but not SSE2. Could be that the problem ?
Do the recent releases of VBox require SSE2 ?
since I could install vers. 1.30 on Stretch 9.4, can I install that on 9.5 ?
That seems to be  the same problem that
prevents me from installing the most recent version of KDE desktop.
Which other package is requiring SSE2, and why that is not clearly indicated ?
Regards
