VirtualBox repo breaks Fedora's "Restart and Update".

Description

When I have VirtualBox repository installed, Fedora 23's "Restart and install updates" functionality breaks. It gives following error:

Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for https://www.virtualbox.org/download
/oracle_vbox.asc [Could not resolve host: www.virtualbox.org]

I suspect it is because of the combination of a remote (https) key location and the repo_gpgcheck=1 option in VirtualBox's .repo file, but I am not sure. Perhaps the system tries to download the GPG key for the verification of the metadata, but it fails since the network is not brought up when the upgrades are installed.

There is a bug report filed in Red Hat's tracker about the same thing.

Sorry, I don't think this is a problem in our repo file. Specifying a https source for the gpgkey is entirely valid, see e.g. here.
