Ok, what I have done is, I’ve gone and deleted Vbox, disabled the local repositories, fixed a few strange problems in an unrelated folder within the /home partition (historical data from an NT 4.0 system that LEAP 42.1 didn’t seem to have a problem with when it was used to back it up to a USB backup drive).
Then I went back into yast under the user’s account (it is my wife’s machine for the work she does) – which required me to give it root access (which I have, she does not), and installed virtualbox.
I attempted to run it. And it failed. Here are the answers to questions asked:

Queried Virtual Box to have it show me what it is:

Copyright © 2017 Oracle Corporation and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Now, upon start of Vbox, this is what happened:
Pushed <Start> button. An attempt at build of the “window” for W7, appears and then immediately dispappears. Then this message shows up (the new error message, which is different from prior attempts):
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine W7 Home Premium.
AMD-V is disabled in the BIOS (or by the host OS) (VERR_SVM_DISABLED).

And this showed up in the log file:

Again, this was working with Leap 42.1 just before I updated to 42.2.
