VirtualBox guest additions fail on Fedora 22

My Windows 7 virtual machine cannot enable USB 2.0. As soon as I attempt it, I get "Invalid Settings detected". It says it requires the Oracle VM Virtualbox extension pack to be installed.

VirtualBox's help->About dialog shows that I am running Version 5.0.14_RPMFusion r105127.
I notice that there is a VirtualBox-guest package available- do I need it on the Linux side, even though I installed the guest additions from the .ISO downloaded by Virtualbox itself?
In any event, I cannot install the package:
