Adding needinfo to virtualbox maintainer.
I'm not a virtualbox maintainer, but according to the changelogs this requirement was added to openSUSE's packages because /usr/ might be on a remote file system. Thu Aug 26 11:17:33 UTC 2010 - gber@opensuse.org - made the vboxadd init script depend on $remote_fs since it requires /usr to be mounted (this dependency is also added in the vboxadd init script that starts the guest additions, the change to vboxdrv is not mentioned in the changelog but has likely the same reason I suppose) Personally, I don't think it should be the job of the vboxdrv service to take care that /usr/ is mounted already when on a remote filesystem, so I'd say this could be removed. Btw, this dependency is also added in the vboxadd init script that starts the guest additions. And the dependencies are actually added by openSUSE-specific patches in the package (vbox-vboxdrv-init-script.diff, vbox-vboxadd-init-script.diff), so I think it would be better to change those patches than add another one on top. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
