Version 5.2.6 prebuilt RPM fails to install on openSUSE Leap 15.0 and Tumbleweed -> fixed after (not in) 5.2.14

[Larry998]

When one tries to install a downloaded RPM for openSUSE Leap 15.0 or Tumbleweed, it fails because "Problem: nothing provides libvpx.so.1()(64bit) needed by VirtualBox-5.2-5.2.6_120293_openSUSE132-1.x86_64". The openSUSE versions in question provide libvpx4, not libvpx1. The install works correctly for Leap 42.3. I have not tested any versions older than that.

The issue continues with LEAP 15.0 and VB 5.2.12 with a different failure.

I have attached the installation log after running /sbin/vboxconfig.

Does the patch from #16872 help?

Sorry this took a while. Could you give this build a try?

The same problem for me with openSUSE 15.0. The testcase build rpm installed and works fine for me.
