I also currently have this problem.

The problem happened because old version of vbox-dkms is not compatible with new kernel 5.14
This problem should be fixed because vbox-dkms has new update on Parrot. I’ve just installed it just fine.

I tried to purge the packages and apparently it no longer generates error
