Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Version: 4.3.14-dfsg-1
Severity: grave
I apologize, I'm not sure exactly which package this should be filed
against, but I'm pretty sure this is the correct one.
I am on a Windows 8.1 host running Debian jessie. I updated xorg-xserver
etc. to the current version in testing, 1.16.0-1. However, I am no
longer able to use the X11-related guest utilities.
The relevant output from VBoxLinuxAdditions.run in the guest additions
ISO:
Installing the Window System drivers
Warning: unknown version of the X Window System installed. Not
installing X Window System drivers.
Looking at the code, the issue is obvious. It is searching for
/opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.14/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/vboxvideo_drv_116.so,
which does not exist.
This support needs to be added. I'm sure that's easier said than done,
and is probably an upstream problem. Meanwhile, however, this package
needs to change its xorg-xserver-core dependency, adding (<< 1.16.0).
