On my desktop machine (22.04 Budgie), VirtualBox 6.1.50 would no longer launch one of my VMs which runs Windows 10. I realized VirtualBox 7.0.20 was now out so I decided to upgrade.
I removed (apt remove --purge virtualbox*) VirtualBox 6.1.50 and then tried to install from the VirtualBox 7.0.20 .deb file I downloaded from their website. However, when I installed 7.0.20, I ended up with 6.1.50 installed. Strange.
So, I uninstalled it using the Software Center. Rebooted (habit). Then tried to install again. This is when I saw something I do not understand at all.
I right click on the file (virtualbox-7.0_7.0.20-163906~Ubuntu~noble_amd64) and choose Software Install. Then the Software Center opens with VirtualBox ready to install. This is where it gets stranger.
When the Software Center opens, I see this version (7.0.20):

Clik here to view.
However, if I wait for about 10-20 seconds (not installing, just waiting after opening it in Software Center), the version magically changes to my previously installed version (6.1.50):

Clik here to view.
Clearly, I would like to install 7.0.20. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Any ideas?
