Bug Description
When using virtualbox 5 as virtualization software, testdrive-gtk cannot create new VMs anymore.
Looking at the code, the code basically says "only version 4.x is suppported", and fails otherwise.
The error in the UI is this:
"Error preparing virtualization: not enough arguments for format string"
The virtualbox version used is: 5.0.4-dfsg-2
The console output of the error is:
ERROR: not enough arguments for format string
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/
self.
File "/usr/lib/
"please install v4.0 or newer.") % self.vboxversion
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
