Unable to install guest additions for 4.0.0

[utvikl]

Hi, I installed 4.0.0 today, but ran into a problem with installation of guest additions.

Code: Select all

?  VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151  sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing VirtualBox 4.0.0 Guest Additions for Linux.........

Required file routines.sh not found.  Aborting...
Failed to remove existing installation.  Aborting...
?  VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151 

currently, the following virtualbox ubuntu packages are installed:

Code: Select all

ii  virtualbox-ose-guest-dkms            3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1                               x86 virtualization solution - guest addition module source for dkms
ii  virtualbox-ose-guest-utils           3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1                               x86 virtualization solution - non-X11 guest utilities

That didn't work. Same issue still present after removing the ubuntu virtualbox-ose stuff. Also note that I have had no problem on other virtualbox instance, but this instance seems to be special.

I tried this as well, but it still fails with same error. The "old" additions seems to work well so it's not such a big issue, I just wanted to report it in case someone else gets the same problem.
