[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#626406: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils: Does not work, or Do not understand what it is useful for

[Eugen Dedu]

Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1+b2
Severity: normal

I have installed virtualbox-ose and installed a Windows system.  I
want to have shared folders, so I need guest additions.

However, after installing virtualbox-ose-guest-utils, virtualbox still 
tells me that guest additions are not installed!!  Does this Debian 
package install guest additions?  If yes, why virtualbox still tells me 
no?  If no, then what is the purpose of this package?

I saw that I can use Device->Install Additions to install them from 
Internet, but I prefer to use the guest additions from debian, instead 
of downloading them from Internet (and updating them manually).

Cheers,
Eugen
