When next I have time, which might not be until tomorrow, I'll try
getting the version made for Ubuntu 18 from Oracle and see if that
works. That's what I have on my desktop and it's working well.
I finished today's work early, so I had time to download:
virualbox-5.2_5.2.20-125813-Ubuntu-bionic-amd64.deb
from the Oracle website. It installed without complaint once I fully
removed what was there with Synaptic. Then I successfully imported a
.ova and it works fine.
The only thing missing was an icon to launch VirtualBox, so I created
one by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking on Create Launcher ...,
and filling in the blanks. The command to start the VirtualBox GUI is
virtualbox.
With that done, I think I have everything I used to have on the laptop
before the SSD installation. Now to give it a few days of testing under
normal operating conditions.
Thanks to all who offered advice, whether I took it or not. :-)
