Thank you!

The current version of virtualbox-hwe in bionic-updates (5.2.34-dfsg-0~ubuntu18.04.1) fails to build with the new linux-hwe-edge kernel based on 5.4 (see bug 1884097). I can confirm that the new version in bionic-proposed (5.2.42-dfsg-0~ubuntu1.18.04.1) can be built successfully.

I did try on bionic, hwe, dkms packages, ext pack, all install correctly!

the armhf failure should be hinted, its NBS package there

FWIW, upstream just released *likely* final version 5.2.44:-

VirtualBox 5.2.44 (released July 14 2020)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
API: Fix unintentionally enabled audio due to a settings file version dependent bug
VBoxManage: Fix crash of 'VBoxManage internalcommands repairhd' when processing invalid input (bug #19579)

Reportedly, if any last-minute bug reports come in for this final month of upstream support, 5.2 and 6.0 could have a further final update, otherwise this is likely end-of-the-line...
