Cannot reproduce.

libpthread.so is not supposed to be in /usr/lib/virtualbox. There is but one reason why VBoxSVC might search for a .so file in /usr/lib/virtualbox: There was no "libpthread.so" in any system path that matched the current architecture. But this is to be expected, too, because..

1. libpthread.so is a hint file and for software development scenarios only. Its presence is *not guaranteed* on normal systems. *No program* should ever attempt to dlopen "libpthread.so", but *must* use "libpthread.so.0".

2. glibc>=2.34 (or thereabouts) has abolished the libpthread.so hint file altogether.

(The same goes for libdl.)

I know it's a hack which is not supposed to be needed, but as soon as I remove the mentioned symlinks the vm's fail to start, I copy them back in place and it works again. But to fix it in the correct way is not my expertise so that's why I wrote it here, maybe the underlying cause can be found. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
