Bug Description

The ExtPack.xml for the VNX ExtensionPack in VirtualBox 6.1.14 (Groovy) contains:

    <Version revision="140239">@VBOX_VERSION_STRING_RAW@</Version>

That @VBOX_VERSION_STRING_RAW@ should have been replaced by 6.1.14, but hasn't been.

Editing the file so that this *is* 6.1.14 allows the extension to load.

NOTE: that this causes an error to be reported in a Focal -> Groovy update. At least I suspect it does, as one was reported for VirtualBox and this is the only thing I can see wrong with it.
