[Bug 1574409] Re: package virtualbox-guest-utils 5.0.14-dfsg-0ubuntu1.15.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: package virtualbox-guest-utils is already installed and configured

[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
