I can reliably observe the problem in a groovy VM.
However, contrary to what Séb is observing, "sudo ubuntu-drivers install"
raises an error:
ubuntu@groovyvm:~$ LANG=C sudo ubuntu-drivers install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
virtualbox-guest-dkms-hwe : Conflicts: virtualbox-guest-dkms
virtualbox-guest-x11-hwe : Depends: virtualbox-guest-utils-hwe (=
6.1.8-dfsg-1ubuntu20.10.1) but it is not going to be installed
Conflicts: virtualbox-guest-x11
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
And the output of "dpkg -l | grep virtualbox-guest" is empty.
