sudo apt install virtualbox

Since eOS 6 is based on Ubuntu 20.04, I tried installing virtualbox the same way on a Ubuntu 20.04 installation. I was able to install virtualbox without any trouble. What is wrong here? I thought it is the same base system.
Has anyone had the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
