I have the same problem while trying to install virtualbox-ext-pack on
Ubuntu 18.04. Now everytime I do apt-get update, I get an error, because
it tries to install the extension pack again. Removing or purging the
package doesn't work, because I also get an error:
sudo apt-get purge virtualbox-ext-pack
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
virtualbox-ext-pack*
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 128 kB disk space will be freed.

Can anyone tell me how to remove he package, so that I don't get the error
every time I update my packages? clean, autoclean, purge, remove, dpkg
--remove... all didn't work.
