Bug#603102: After update of libc6 from 2.7-18lenny4 to, 2.7-18lenny6, virtual machines (VirtualBox) unable to start.
Problem solved, please close this bug.
VBox binaries is all suid, so there is new restriction active after
update of libc6 package. On all VBox 'so' files RPATH=$ORIGIN is set and
actually ignored by loader because of unpriviledged user run suid
binaries.
My workaround for this is:
find /opt/virtualbox/ -name \*.so -type f -exec ln -s -t /lib '{}' ';'
I can't reinstall or use packaged Virtualbox on production machines.
