It pretty much looks like your running Linux image 4.16 is the one provided in the DVD 1 of Buster, and you downloaded headers from up-to-date repositories, currently providing either Linux 4.17 or 4.18. You may wish to upgrade your linux-image-amd64 package (or whatever architecture you are using) to get the latest level installed in your VM. Eventually, you can select the version matching your current headers, most likely linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64 for linux-headers-4.18.0-2-amd64, but be aware that you will miss next kernel upgrades in that case I believe Virtual Box additions are provided as a set of DKMS modules, so it should build automatically at Linux image installation, if module sources are still present. > Help out a confused chemist and someone explain just what is > going on.
