Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 4.0.4-dfsg-1+b2
Severity: normal

I have installed virtualbox-ose and installed a Windows system.  I
want to have shared folders, so I need guest additions.

However, after installing virtualbox-ose-guest-utils, virtualbox still tells me that guest additions are not installed!! Does this Debian package install guest additions? If yes, why virtualbox still tells me no? If no, then what is the purpose of this package?

I saw that I can use Device->Install Additions to install them from Internet, but I prefer to use the guest additions from debian, instead of downloading them from Internet (and updating them manually).

Cheers,
Eugen
