Description
Describe the bug
After upgrade Linux Mint 22.3 from Kernel 6.17 to 7.0.0.28 I get an error log while upgrading and cannot run Virtualbox 7.0.16 anymore. Upgrading Virtualbox to 7.2 would resolve the kernel problem, but it asks for other dependencies that tied to Ubuntu 24.04 and cannot be resolved. ALso Virtualbox 7.1 encounters the same.
I cannot use Virtualbox anymore as long I stay on the new kernel
Screenshots
Distribution:
- [X ] Linux Mint 22.3
Software version:
Virtualbox 7.0.16 and Virtualbox 7.2.14
Logs:

Additional context
-The error is also described by others in the linux mint forum: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=471723
-I installed Virtualbox versions via "Appy" and check with the developer if that could be the problem source but he denied. The app helps managing 3rd party repos.

Research direction
Start by reviewing errorlog-kernel7-install.txt and the attached screenshots, then compare the reported behavior across Linux Mint 22.3 with kernels 6.17 and 7.0.0.28 and VirtualBox 7.0.16, 7.1, and 7.2. Determine whether mintupdate can address the upgrade compatibility problem or whether the issue should instead document the limitation; completion requires a reproducible, actionable outcome.
