Packaged version must match version of virtualbox package |
SRU virtualbox-ext-pack, virtualbox-guest-additions-iso to match virtualbox versions |

description |
Due to upstream's patch policy, security updated are newer minor releases. That is great for the user. But the catch is that just the main virtua box packages (virtualbox, virtualbox-qt and virtualbox-dkms) are updated.
Both virtualbox-guest-additions-iso and virtualbox-ext-pack become useless after the security update is installed, as the minor version must match for it to work. While the virtualbox-ext-pack is arguably relatively easy to find on upstream's webpage (which one has to know about and go there yourself), the guest additions iso actually has no public download, since it always comes bundled with the virtualbox releases.
Long story short, please also update these packages whenever you upload a new minor version as security update, otherwise you make those packages completely useless.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10
Package: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso 5.0.4-1
ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-25.30-generic 4.2.6

Date: Mon Feb 1 08:32:31 2016
InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-11-04 (88 days ago)

PackageArchitecture: all
SourcePackage: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) |
[Impact]
* some ext-pack and guest-additions-iso versions are too old to be useful with newer virtualbox releases
[Test Case]
* install a virtualbox machine and extpack/guest-additions, update virtualbox from -security, and in some case you won't be able to start the machine anymore
[Regression Potential]
* none.
