Description Mounir Lamouri (volkmar) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-10 21:04:04 UTC
At the end of the installation, an elog message told the user:
"To launch VirtualBox just type: "VirtualBox""
but there is no VirtualBox binary installed. It looks like it comes since 3.* but -bin version has this binary.

The bug is not about a missing binary but a misleading message.
USE flags: "additions alsa hal opengl python sdk -headless -pulseaudio -qt4 -vboxwebsrv"

Hi, the problem is the condition on the pkg_postinst message that considers only the headless use flag, the qt4 flag is needed to obtain the VirtualBox binary (as described in the pkg_setup message).

thanks for your feedback i just fixed the ebuild on jokey's overlay[1]

It has been fixed in 3.0.8-r1 and 3.0.12 is now the stable ebuild.

Thanks.
