[vbox-dev] mount.vboxsf link broken in x86_64 ubuntu linux in 4.3.10

[Chris Adamson]

The mount.vboxsf link in /sbin points to /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions
However, the binary is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/VBoxGuestAdditions

This is in Ubuntu based distros, so Ubuntu and mint.

I noticed the same thing today but using builds from SVN r50856.
Workaround was to change the symlink to /opt/... but this should be
fixed on the builds. Mint 16 guest. Not sure when this started as I
don't always update the GAs on Linux guests with each build.

This should now be fixed[1] and the fix should hit the public repository
soon.
