[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#641505: virtualbox: Virtualbox postinst script fails on update-rc.d

[Dave Clarke]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.2-dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal


When installing virtual box the following problem is encountered.  The
issue is that the post install script is not referencing a full path for
update-rc.d and if /usr/sbin is not in your path the script fails.



Setting up virtualbox (4.1.2-dfsg-1+b1) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/virtualbox.postinst: 8: update-rc.d: not found
dpkg: error processing virtualbox (--configure):
