Subject: virtualbox: Guest additions ISO image fails to download
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 13:56:25 +0200
Package: virtualbox
Version: 6.0.14-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have now repeatedly (on several days) tried to download the latest Windows
Guest Additions ISO file (by clicking "Devices - Insert Guest Additions CD
image"). Every time, the download seems to complete but then finally shows an
error:

> The network operation failed with the following error: 
> During network request: Unknown reason.

My network is otherwise working fine, this seems to be an issue with VirtualBox
or the server it is fetching this from.

I reported this before at
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929074> which got closed, but
the bug is not actually fixed.

Installing the guest-additions-iso package fixes the problem, but it's still a
bug to show a useless error message and have a broken downloader without that
package.

Kind regards,
Ralf

Hi,

This seems to be tracked upstream as https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18653

(but that ticket isn't very helpful)
