[vbox-dev] Problems building guest additions with Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64

[Frank Batschulat]

I am talking about the specifics of your Debian 10 installation here.

I wonder whether or not the vagrant image is a minimized or headless
installation. where is this magic vagrant image and how exactly are
yopu going to use it/setup with vagrant so one can possibly try
to reproduce your issue?
