VirtualBox 7.0.2, systemctl and deprecated python bindings install messages

Post by slvr32 »

VirtualBox installer should check for systemctl, and not output 'command not found' messages.

Also, when recent python 3.x is found, an install method that isn't deprecated should be used for python bindings.

This is on a Slackware 'current' x86_64 install from Nov.5
