Success. I downloaded 
virtualbox-6.1_6.1.2-135662~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb and 
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.2.vbox-extpack and installed 
them. Virtual box came up and ran both of my virtual machines.

Thanks, John, for the assurance that the virtual machines would still be 
there, and thanks, Tomas, for recommending I upgrade to v6.1.

I applied this procedure to both ENU-2, my desktop machine, and to my 
Lenovo X200 tablet (they call it a tablet, but it's a laptop).

Now, back to figuring out how to fix the nVidia problem on ENU-2.
