[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#458991: virtualbox-ose: comman VBoxAddIF does not exist

[Nate Bargmann]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.5.4-dfsg-1
Severity: important


Per the VirtualBox-OSE documentation, VBoxAddIF is used to create
a bridging network device for a guest operating system.  However,
the shell does not find VBoxAddIF.

In /usr/bin, the following symbolic links exist:

VBoxAddIF
VBoxDeleteIF

which point to:

VBoxTAP

while VBoxTAP points to:

../share/virtualbox/VBoxAddIF.sh

However, ../share/virtualbox/VBoxAddIF.sh does not exist.

http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=VBoxAddIF.sh&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any

Says VBoxAddIF.sh should be in /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxAddIF.sh but it
is not in there either.  /usr/share/doc/virtualbox-ose/README.Debian is
silent regarding the above situation.
