In order to proceed, I had to go to YaST Control Center –> Software –> Software Repositories and manually edit the entry “VirtualBox for openSUSE 15.1 – x86_64“.

I changed “URL of the Repository” from “http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/$releasever/$basearch” to “http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/15.0/$basearch“.

Apparently there is still no repository for openSUSE 15.1 on the official site of Virtualbox, there are only those listed here: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/opensuse/.

Not really sure if that was safe to install the packages from the repository designed for openSUSE 15.0 while I’m on openSUSE 15.1 but at least finally I’ve got Virtualbox working.

my error is
