Notice:

To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.

Ralf I don't use the testing repos. If someone does and would like to submit a patch, I'd be happy to add it.

My apologies for not posting the output elsewhere and just posting a link here. virtualbox-bin-5.2.0-1 was build from your tarball. I only looked at the OSE version for comparison. As already pointed out, despite the messages the modules were build, at least for kernel versions < 4.14.0. Bevor I rebuild the package from your tarball, I reinstalled the already build package. The link always is against /usr/src/virtualbox-bin. Even after fixing the link, the modules for 4.14.0 from testing were not build.

Remember, the flaw doesn't affect building the modules, they are located in /lib/modules/*/kernel/misc/.

Note, on upgrade from 5.1.28 to 5.2, dkms does not handle previous module unload as all upgrades between 5.1.2X have and following upgrade there is module and virtualbox version mismatch. Further, headless Windows clients accessed remotely can not receive keyboard or mouse input (regadless of host-key use) as there is an evident incompatibility between the 5.1.2X guest additions and the new 5.2 additions. Reported with Oracle ticket/17259. Just be aware after host upgrade to 5.2, if you have remote clients accessing headless windows guests, there is a high likelihood they will not be able to access the guest until guest additions are manually updated to 5.2 on the host machine (remote clients can no longer login and update guest additions as normal)

Bumped to 5.2.0 Dkms issue should be fixed now. Special thanks to Christian Hesse for some patching.

Hi, when virtualbox-bin was orphaned, I build 5.1.28 due to a lack of time from an incomplete edited 5.1.26 snapshot. Today I used your snapshot for 5.1.28, I only edited the "pkgrel" entry. Your snapshot suffers from the same issue as mine.

I tried to adapt this packages for VBox 5.2.0_*. 5.2.0_BETA2 works fine for me. 5.2.0_BETA3 and 5.2.0_RC1 were runing into trouble with the Kernel modules. I have copied the Makefile from BETA2 to RC1 and it work. I don't know what I have done, but it works.
