drankinatty [1] filed an orphan request for virtualbox-bin-5 [2]:

Oracle ended support for the Virtualbox 5.2 branch at the end of July
2020. As of Linux 5.8 the kernel modules will no longer build -- but
the package continues to work just fine for LTS and will for the
foreseeable future so long as the LTS is <= 5.7 so there isn't an
immediate deletion need. I request to disown this package as there
will be no future changes to the package or new releases of the 5.2
branch beyond 5.2.44 by Oracle.
