Do you have the respective kernel's header package installed? It is necessary for the virtualbox dkms module to compile.
That's really though the only issue I could think of right away, but could explain why this line is output:
error: package 'virtualbox-host-dkms' was not foundAlthough it looks like (from what I've read) you have done everything correctly.
Sorry If I'm not of much help

Sorry, this is not an error notification that occurred in the terminal — the package virtualbox-host-dkms was not found. It’s just that the interface could not be displayed even though vboxnet was already installed and I had refreshed it by rebooting. I managed to make it appear before, but I forgot how I did it. As far as I remember, I just repeated the process twice, and it somehow worked like magic. Thank you for trying to help.
