[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#767201: virtualbox: After update to 4.3.18-dfsg-1 guests doesn't start

Package: virtualbox
Followup-For: Bug #767201

Hi,

Everyone who is having this bug needs to check the following:

File -> Preferences -> Extensions

If you have a mismatching version of Oracle VM VirtualBox Extensions you need 
to go update it. This is probably not a debian bug at all. And everyoen here 
just needs to pay more attention to the extensions they install that debian 
does not provide. After updating my extensions the problem went away.

You can find the updates for the extensions here: 
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Try to remember to update them everytime you get a new version from the debian 
repos or we'll have another bug report about people forgetting again. Would 
also be wonderful if everyone who encountered this bug can confirm the above 
does indeed fix the problem for them so the bug can be closed.
