Description: After upgrading to 5.0.0-1 the application
complained about an outdated extension pack and offers to
download & intall the current extension pack. After
accepting the license, the installation fails.
Additional info: | The installer failed with exit code 127: Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address. | | Errorcode: | NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) | Component: | ExtPackManagerWrap | Interface: | IExtPackManager {edba9d10-45d8-b440-1712-46ac0c9bc4c5} It seems that the application is not able to establish a connection to kdesu (in a KDE envirnonment); package kde-cli-tools was already installed. Steps to reproduce: Try to install as a user i.e. the "Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.0.vbox-extpack" and you will run into that problem. A "VBoxManage extpack install VirtualBox/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.0.vbox-extpack" on a root-console did it finally for me. |

Just try "VBoxManage extpack install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-5.0.0.vbox-extpack" as root out of the folder you stored the extpack, and it should work.
