[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#798979: Bug#798979: Bug#798979: virtualbox: DSA-3359-1 causes VBoxClient to send error message "The VirtualBox kernel service is not running" and to break off.

[Gianfranco Costamagna]

Hi, following up with an upstream discussion,

can you please remove virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils and virtualbox-guest-x11?

thanks,


G.
