Virtual Box had been already installed by:
sudo apt install virtualbox
Then I went on installing the extension pack:
sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack
This runs into the error:

I just noticed that the directory /usr/share/virtualbox-ext-pack

@AliRazmdideh: There is no output. Running without the-s
option says: 'curl: (6) Could not resolve host: download.virtualbox.org'. I do not understand this. The proxy is already inserted in/etc/apt/apt.conf
. Other installations work pretty fine.

This is not enough to set proxy just for apt please set a proxy on terminal with this method askubuntu.com/a/584183/550618 and then test again.

When you run this command :
sudo apt install virtualbox-ext-pack
During installation , the virtualbox-ext-pack
is downloaded from http://download.virtualbox.org/ with wget
tools.
But as you said, you use proxy for apt
and also you can't access the http://download.virtualbox.org/ site, without proxy (because of curl: (6) Could not resolve host: download.virtualbox.org
output, in your comments).
So you should set a proxy on your terminal (not just for apt) with this commands:
export http_proxy='http://proxyserveraddress:port'
export https_proxy='https://proxyserveraddress:port'
After set proxy in terminal, your problem should be solved.
