Description C W Rose 2013-01-09 09:59:08 UTC 
virtualbox-bin 4.1.22 installs the following file into /lib/udev/rules.d

# create second tree of USB devices according to
# http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7759#comment:5

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION!="remove", RUN="%UDEVDIR%/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass}"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION!="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN="%UDEVDIR%/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh $major $minor $attr{bDeviceClass}"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", RUN="%UDEVDIR%/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", RUN="%UDEVDIR%/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh --remove $major $minor"

The %UDEVDIR% tokens probably come from a glitch in the autoconf setup;
anyway, the system won't start VirtualBox unless the file is edited.
