please don't play the severity game, thanks. VBoxManage: error: The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp: error: The owner is not root: '/usr/lib' did you read the error message? please tell me the output of ls -l /usr/ and ls -l /usr/lib thanks to remove it, just remove -e in file /var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox-ext-pack.prerm should be sufficient, or also install it again after the /usr/lib directory is ok.
