[OpenIndiana-discuss] [OmniOS-discuss] Fix to VirtualBox installer under OI/OmniOS

[Predrag Zečević - Unix Systems Administrator]

Hi Jim,

VB 5.0.0 is just released, and I have tried to patch vboxcontrol.sh - 
but got error during installation.

So, changed manually lines

  273                         errorprint "Failed to parse the Solaris 
kernel major version."
  274                         exit 1

to

  273                         return 0

and fixed pkginfo checksum. After that, installation went fine:


$ yes '' | pfexec pkgadd -d . -a ./autoresponse

The following packages are available:
   1  SUNWvbox     Oracle VM VirtualBox
                   (i386) 5.0.0,REV=2015.07.09.12.00.101573

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:
Processing package instance <SUNWvbox> from 
</export/NoBackup/Virtualization/VirtualBox/Install>

Oracle VM VirtualBox(i386) 5.0.0,REV=2015.07.09.12.00.101573
