Unfortunately removing the package from the terminal will not collect the dependencies broken or unbroken to fix correctly, so yes you are probably better off to reinstall.
Yep. Tracked down the beginning of the problem. V-box updates for guest additions are from the 18.04 Ubu repos. Don't bother with them as they are buggy and have several ongoing issues. HOLD v-box updates unless you are on at least 4.13 HWE running Intel or 4.15 kernel. Also policy kit is out of date as well in LTS. Best to hold for now and wait. I think it would be best to just hold them back for now in the restricted repo for LL or people installing/running VMs are going to continue crashing them with updates. I didn't think of it immediately but it would be nice to see the install log from someone with a crashed vm. Here I think on the vm osĀ /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log
