Unable to update "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack" -> fixed after Beta 2

Post by JulianF »

During the "Check for updates" process I get the following message:

"You have an old version (6.0.0_BETA1) of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack installed.
Do you wish to download latest one from the Internet?"

After clicking "Download" a download window appears and after some seconds the following message appears:
The network operation failed with the following error:
During network request: U rl not found on the server.

Do you have the URL that failed to download? Does it still?

On macOS 10.14.1 and VirtualBox 6.0.0_BETA2 r126642, the Network Operations Manager dialogue giving the “Url not found” message is still present. There is no mention neither on the window nor on stdout/stderr of what the problematic URL might be.

Manually downloading the matching extension pack (version 6.0.0r126642_BETA2) is possible, and so is installing it through the Extensions section of the Preferences (however, double clicking the file or dragging it onto VirtualBox Manager doesn't prompt for its installation, contrary to 5.2.x). In spite of this, when opening again the VirtualBox Manager or checking for updates, a popup noting that “you have an old version (6.0.0_BETA2) of the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack installed” and offering to download it still appears (and the “Url not found” dialogue shows when choosing to try and download it).

Still not working in beta 2, I can't figure out what URL it's attempting to hit either. Checked firwalls and SPAM_SEARCH to make sure they weren't blocking the app. No idea what's going on here.

Same problem here. VirtualBox 6.0.0_BETA2 r126642 with Extension Pack 6.0.0r126642_BETA2 on Windows 7:

When I check for updates, it complains that I have an old version of the Extension Pack and then when I click Download, the following error occurs:

The network operation failed with the following error:

Bug in the version comparison (in the GUI code)... fixed. Any trunk test build (or future betas) with a revision after 126731 will have the fix.
