On using command sudo apt install virtualbox

it's giving Output as

  virtualbox-6.1 6.1.32-149290~Ubuntu~eoan
  virtualbox-6.0 6.0.24-139119~Ubuntu~eoan
You should explicitly select one to install.

E: Package 'virtualbox' has no installation candidate

I have tried using sudo apt install virtualbox-6.1 6.1.32-149290~Ubuntu~eoan but getting this E: Unable to locate package 6.1.32-149290~Ubuntu~eoan /etc/apt/sources.list contains

deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main

Ubuntu Update Repos


deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main

even tried sudo apt update and used sudo apt install virtualbox-6.1 but getting this W: Target CNF (contrib/cnf/Commands-amd64) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list:3

for apt install virtualbox-6.1

 virtualbox-6.1 : Depends: libqt5opengl5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
                  Depends: libqt5printsupport5 (>= 5.0.2) but it is not going to be installed
                  Recommends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Please suggest how can i install virtualbox through sudo apt install? Thanks.

    The references to Eoan says that you have some repositories for 19.10 still active. You may want to double check your sources and then install with sudo apt install VirtualBox – matigo Mar 14 '22 at 10:59

Hi there was error in /etc/apt/sources.list and there were duplicate entries also which i removed from software & updates as a result sudo apt update started working followed by that sudo apt install virtualbox also started wokring.
