[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#826620: virtualbox: Extension_Pack-4.3.36-105129.vbox-extpack can't be installed

[Thomas Schmidt]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.0.20-dfsg-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Installing it, it pretends to be 4.3.36.
Allthough Version: 5.0.20-dfsg-2 is mentioned here
I tried both extension packages. the one 
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.36-105129.vbox-extpack
and the other
virtualbox-5.0_5.0.20-106931~Debian~jessie_amd64.deb and tried 
to insert in /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian jessie contrib

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
In the config-window -> file -> global config -> additional packages i tried to add
Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.36-105129.vbox-extpack, but after
starting i get after iinserting the password:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
ExtPackManager
!WxtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554}

   * What was the outcome of this action?

I can't use USB what is needed strongly 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Oracle should stop the ridiculous need of any extension packages or
the debian package manager should stop presenting virtualbox in different
versions, none of it with the automatically installed extension packages.
A virtual machine without USB is not acceptable.
