How to reproduce: create a new VM with the default options and choose the setting "Do not add a virtual hard drive". Export the VM into ovf format and try to import it. VirtualBox 5.0.0 beta2 gives an error:
Seeking within the archive failed (VERR_TAR_UNEXPECTED_EOS).
Fehlercode:
VBOX_E_IPRT_ERROR (0x80BB0005)
Komponente:
ApplianceWrap
Interface:
IAppliance {d9432012-2740-499f-b3b3-0991da3679f3}
A sample .ova file is attached.
Best regards,
Mikhail

your OVA package is little bit strange. Where did you create OVA package? Windows 7,8.1, Ubuntu, Solaris or something else.

Windows 7 x64. what's strange about it? is the problem not reproducible ? I've tried to to create .ova packages with both beta2 and with 4.3.26 and in both cases I cannot import them to beta2.

can verify OSX host.
Code: Select all

It's interesting the appliance number is identical to the OPs.

If you mean the "Appliance" interface UUID then yes, it's the same everywhere on a particular VirtualBox version. It is not related to anything in the actual appliance, just internal implementation. Whether printing the UUID in the error message is helpful is a different question

Yes, that's what I meant.

Should be now fixed. The fix will be available in 5.0 Beta 3.
