Sorry for late reply ,  I try use same version of upstream , maybe my
file is outdated , ./src/VBox/Installer/linux/installer-common.sh
generates some of these files. But I also have 
VirtualBox-guest-additions-5.0.24-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm (I think Oracle
just do rpms for hosts) and need a plain text file of 60-vboxadd.rules
I will try update it soon .
