Package: virtualbox-guest-utils Version: 4.3.18-dfsg-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I have two Debian installations running as guests in a VirtualBox installation. One is stable, the other one testing. Both have virtual-guest-utils and virtual-guest-dkms packages installed. In stable the host time sync works, in testing it does not. Here is what can be found in the system log after an attempt to start the virtual-guest-utils service: // log extract begins nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd sudo[1429]: tomfa : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/tomfa ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/service virtualbox-guest-utils start nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd sudo[1429]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by tomfa(uid=0) nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd virtualbox-guest-utils[1447]: Starting VirtualBox AdditionsNo suitable module for running kernel found ... failed! nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd virtualbox-guest-utils[1447]: failed! nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd sudo[1429]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd systemd[1]: virtualbox-guest-utils.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 nov 10 01:36:47 debian-systemd systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: VirtualBox Linux Additions. // log extract ends It seems like the vboxguest kernel module is not loading correctly. Please give advice on possible workaround or if you need further details. Thank you for providing these packages. Looking forward to a solution.
