Just did a fresh upgrade of Ubuntu Mate from Xenial to Bionic. The
guest packages were installed on the Xenial system prior to upgrade.
During the upgrade the guest packages were upgraded, NOT removed.
However, on the upgraded system the virtualbox-guest-utils.service was

Regarding the original service not starting problem.
If I do a clean 18.04 install everything works OK. (Apart from Lubuntu
where I couldn't get the installer to work.)

Had a look at your PPA and realised that you had got hwe versions of the
guest packages as well as virtualbox-hwe.
So, added your PPA to 16.04 Kubuntu guest and tried to upgrade to
18.04. However do-release-upgrade disabled the entry before it
upgraded. In that case I don't know how to test thi

Slightly confused by this response and the move to "Fix released".
The fix referred to fixes the compilation error. However there are two
other problems - the service not starting even when the module compiled
and the packages being uninstalled during the upgrade. Do I need to
raise those as new

Installing dpkg-dev solved the compilation problem. The DKMS modules
now seem to compile on all systems.

service is not started automatically even though it is shown as enabled.
This matches the situation reported at the beg

I have now done clean installs of 16.04, installed the virtualbox-guest
packages then upgraded to 18.04.
In all cases the 16.04 install worked. When adding the guest packages I

I will try clean installs but it may be a day or so. In the meantime I

Ubuntu Mate guest the service isn't started. In a Kubuntu guest it is
started.
