Today I downloaded the latest Hipster release and subsequently attempted to install Virtualbox 5.1.22, 5.0.40, and 4.3.40. All of them failed.
For 5.1.22:Oracle VM VirtualBox(i386) 5.1.22,REV=2017.04.28.17.36.115126 Oracle Corporation ## Executing checkinstall script.

No changes were made to the system. Virtualbox used to install on the old OpenSolaris. It is kind of ironic that Sun created Virtualbox and Oracle still releases a package for Solaris, but none of them will install. Why and how do I get Virtualbox installed, or is it not worth the effort? If I can't run Virtualbox then Hipster is useless to me.
