Description
In both my Fedora 21 and Rawhide VirtualBox guests, with guest additions installed, if I do an SELinux relabel, I get the error message in the Summary. I originally reported this to Fedora's Bugzilla as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1164050 which was closed as NOTABUG as they believe the bug is in VirtualBox. I'm attaching a VBox.log file for my Rawhide guest, though I did not do a relabel with this particular run. (The error is 100% reproducible.)

Issue also exists in VirtualBox 4.3.20 (with 4.3.18 replaced by 4.3.20 in the error message, of course). I don't appear to have permission to edit the ticket accordingly (either the Version, or the Summary).

No need to update the ticket for every version. Fix is planned for the next maintenance release.

Thanks. I wasn't even sure if it was a bug or due to some kind of nonstandard configuration on my system.

I was actually waiting for some sort of response from you before committing the fix. Based on the Gentoo wiki link above, could you try removing /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.18/bin/VBoxClient-all on the guest and replacing it with a symbolic link to /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-4.3.18/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions/98vboxadd-xclient to see if that fixes the issue? Thanks.

Replacing the 4.3.20 file with the symlink does appear to fix the issue.
