Description
Trying to install Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.4-70112.vbox-extpack I got an error popup saying
Failed to install the Extension Pack /export/harri/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.0.4-70112.vbox-extpack.
The installer failed with exit code 127: Error creating textual authentication agent: Error opening current controlling terminal for the process (`/dev/tty'): No such device or address.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: ExtPackManager Interface: IExtPackManager {2451b1ba-ab1c-42fb-b453-c58433bea8c7}
Of course I checked the access permissions to /dev/tty. Its readable and writable for everybody:
% ls -al /dev/tty crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 Mar 2 06:04 /dev/tty
Please note that running Virtualbox as root is not an option.
