Can't install Virtual Box keep getting Install Pending WHY ?

Why not use:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install virtualbox

It's in the repositories, ready to install. No manual download is needed.

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all

You don't need to manually download stuff like in Windows. It's all packaged nicely for you

Ubuntu 19.10 went EOL (end of life) on 17th July 2020
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

There are no more packages for it and zero support

1. Ubuntu 19.10 is not supported any more, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
If you want to use a supported Ubuntu release different from 20.04 LTS, then your best choice would probably be 18.04 LTS

2. You are writign about a "A;mamah Diary".
If this should read "almanah", then it is definitely available in Ubuntu 20.04.

3. The command
sudo install virtualbox-6.0_6..0.14-133895~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb -t /lynne/VirtualBox VMs . .
is nonsense.

What you need probably is
sudo dpkg --install virtualbox-6.0_6.0.14-133895~Ubuntu~bionic_amd64.deb
(Note: Version 6.0.14-133895 is not the newest one, but is outdated, you probably better install version 6.0.24-139119 or even better 6.1.14-140239, to be downloaded from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads )

Why don't you just use the Version of Virtualbox available in the Ubuntu repositories?

After installing you have to configure the directory where the VM files reside inside the Virtualbox software.

Okay will once more remove 19.10 . . How about 19.04 I know I have that one will see if I still have 18.04 . .

The reason I DO NOT use the one at Ubuntu is There are things not in it like using 125 megs of Video and using 2 CPU's plus a few other things as I have tried it and had to dump it and go back to using the one at Virtual Box site . .

THE Diary's that came up were not the one I wanted and tried two of the ones that came up and they would not import the Files from the Almanah Diary back up folder

*Tried that as it is on the Virtual Box Site, DID NOT WORK and also
adding keys was done ! *

With regard to 19.04 you can use the link I gave to see the supported releases. 19.04 is also EOL.

See the link already given earlier https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

The only currently supported Ubuntu releases are (in descending sequence)
20.04 LTS
18.04 LTS
16.04 LTS
(14.04 in Extended Security Maintenance - for servers only)

Ubuntu 20.10 is currently in development for publication in October, with 9 month support afterwards.

Also Ubuntu 19.04 is already in "End of Life" status.
So there are only Ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04 remaining as reasonable choices (16.04 will be end of life next April, so that does not make sense any more).

Can you please explain the paragraph:
"The reason I DO NOT use the one at Ubuntu is There are things not in it like using 125 megs of Video and using 2 CPU's plus a few other things as I have tried it and had to dump it and go back to using the one at Virtual Box site . ."

I assume that you missed to recognize that in the Ubuntu repositories the packages are split in a core package (virtualbox) and the managment console (virtualbox-qt). If you want the GUI interface for managing, then you also have to install the virtualbox-qt package.
