That sums up what is happening to me.  Version 2.2.0 works fine, you just need to download the generic Linux version, set the .run file to be executable and run it.  You should then have a working Virtualbox.
I use Virtualbox because I have been for two years and, unless there is a tool to convert my virtual machines to the built in Fedora Virtualisation, then I will need to continue to use it.
