There was a problem hiding this comment.
I've inconsistently seen a weird issue where this package needs to be installed twice to start working (after the first installation on a fresh machine, the extension pack isn't detected by VBoxManage or the VirtualBox GUI.)
- Attempting to replicate the issue, resetting the debconf key for the EULA and removing
~/.config/VirtualBox/do not cause it to occur again. So far, I've only seen it happen once on each computer. However, I don't see it happen in a VM (where it would be easiest to replicate with snapshots.) - Upgrading/downgrading the package or doing an
apt reinstallmakes it start working after the issue has occurred. From what I've seen, computers where 7.0.8 was already installed (with the extension pack) do not have the issue upon upgrading to 7.0.10.
Given the difficulty of replicating the issue, I can't be sure it's a regression, and it wouldn't make sense for it to be given that the installation mechanism isn't changing in this PR, so I don't think it's grounds to withhold approval (also considering this package isn't included by default and is a manual addition in the first place.)
Tested with pop-os/virtualbox#10.
