Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.1.24-dfsg-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since (one of) the last updates, virtualbox fails to set the host-only
interfaces vboxnet0 and vboxnet1 to "up".

It configures the correct IP to the interfaces, but does not do
"ifconfig vboxnet0 up" or "ip link set vboxnet0 up".

aurora64:~# ip addr show dev vboxnet1
47: vboxnet1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.152.1/24 scope global vboxnet1
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Because of this communication to a running virtual machine fails.

After a manual "ip link set vboxnet1 up" it works fine.

Greetings
Sven
