[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#524171: guest additions CD image file missing

[Peter Eisentraut]

Package: virtualbox-ose-qt
Version: 2.2.0-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Selecting Devices/Install Guest Additions gives me a dialog that says:

"""
Could not find the VirtualBox guest Additions CD image file 
/usr/share/virtualbox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso or 
/usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso.

Do you want to download this CD image from the Internet? 

Yes/No
"""

Selecting Yes downloads the image from Sun and things proceed.

I have found nothing about this in the README.Debian or the wiki.  Perhaps it 
can be explained somewhere if this is in fact how it is supposed to behave.  
Or perhaps put the .iso files in the package where they are expected.
