Bug Description
This has been introduced in 5.0.38 and 5.1.20 and leads to failures when using virtualbox-ext-pack with the official virtualbox clients.
Backporting the fixes to the stable Ubuntu versions fixes this issue.
Fix is upgrade xenial to 5.0.40 and yakkety/zesty to 5.1.22 (or 5.1.20, but 5.1.22 fixes two regressions in audio handling and postinst guest addition installation)
[Changelog]
VirtualBox 5.0.40 (released 2017-04-28)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
VMM: fixed software virtualization on Solaris hosts (5.0.38 regression)
Storage: fixed a potential hang under rare circumstances (bug #16677)
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (asynchronous I/O disabled or during maintenance file operations like merging snapshots)
Storage: fixed a potential crash under rare circumstances (no asynchronous I/O or during maintenance file operations like merging snapshots)
Linux hosts: make the ALSA backend work again as well as Loading the GL libraries on certain hosts (5.0.38 regression; bugs #16667, #16693)
VirtualBox 5.0.38 (released 2017-04-18)
This is a maintenance release. The following items were fixed and/or added:
GUI: don't crash on restoring defaults in the appliance import dialog
several fixes
[SRU Template]
* virtualbox folks changed how ext-pack gets installed.
People using the custom .38 virtualbox from the website won't be able to install the ext pack
[Regression potential]
Changelog:
* GUI: don't crash on restoring defaults in the appliance import dialog
* several fixes
[Test case]
* Virtualbox and the ext pack should install without issues (and work)
I installed the latest updates (including kernel) in xenial-proposed and got this crash report.
The installation was stuck at "VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL)" step. The acceptance question (Do you agree to these license terms and conditions (y/n)?) does not show up and the process is stuck..
