Description Walter Meinl 2009-07-12 21:17:31 UTC 
>>> Install virtualbox-guest-additions-3.0.0 into /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.0.0/image/ category app-emulation
 * Installing vboxadd module
 * Installing vboxvfs module
install: cannot stat `vboxadd-service': No such file or directory
!!! doins: vboxadd-service does not exist
chmod: cannot access `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.0.0/image//usr/sbin/vboxadd-service': No such file or directory

same in 3.0.2
in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.0.2/work/VirtualBox-3.0.2_OSE/src/VBox/Additions/linux/Makefile.kmk
I found the following line

$(QUIET)$(VBOX_LNX_ADD_BIN_COPY) $(PATH_BIN)/additions/VBoxService                $(VBOX_LNX_ADD_INS_OUT_DIR)/vboxadd-service
thus, it appears vboxadd-service was originally termed VBoxService and VBoxService is present in out/linux.x86/release/bin/additions/

I'll attach a working patch for the ebuild in a moment

Reproducible: Always

Fixed in overlay, thanks!
Comment 3 Christian Kaps 2009-12-02 11:50:35 UTC 
The same here with the app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions-3.1.0 ebuild.

In version 3.1.0 the kernel module is called vboxguest.ko and the installed service in /usr/sbin/ is vboxguest-service instead of vboxadd-service. I believe the init script used to start the daemon should be fixed by replacing the string vboxadd for vboxguest.

I confirm comment #4 is a working solution to starting service.
Comment 6 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-12 15:46:03 UTC 
This however has not been implemented yet and the bug should be reopened.
