            Bug ID: 1165982
           Summary: VirtualBox permissions  are changed and prevent a vbox
                    guest from starting
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE Distribution
           Version: Leap 15.1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Virtualization:Other

I do not install Virtualbox from the repository; it is installed and updated
directly from the Vbox site.

Whenever "permissions" is updated, virtualbox permissions are altered in a way
that prevents guests from starting. To correct this I (force) install/update
vbox to correct the permissions. Note that all files in /usr/lib/virtualbox/
have permissions root:root and 0755 after the re-update.

I neglected to copy the startup failure message(s).
