[vbox-dev] linux - how to obtain extension pack compatible with build from svn source

[Klaus Espenlaub]

Hi John,

you have to use an extension pack suitable for 6.1.97, which you can 
(usually) get from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds - from the 
"Development snapshots" section. The 6.1.26 extension pack will not work 
with what will eventually be the next major/minor VirtualBox version. 
Too many big changes.
