Running VirtualBox in Tumbleweed

[kensch]

Is there a reason why I'm now getting this error:

code:
**********

ken@pc1:~> VirtualBox
Qt FATAL: FATAL: The application binary appears to be running setuid,
this is a security hole.
Aborted
ken@pc1:~>

**********

I didn't get this error last week. It looks like someone didn't
thoroughly think through that some programs still need to be setsuid in
order to function.

Running VirtualBox 6.0.2

I guess your virtualbox is not from the official tumbleweed repo and this might be the problem.
VB 6 is not building in tumbleweed at the moment, no issues with VB 5.2.22

I only use the download from virtualbox.org and rarely have issues. I
updated tumbleweed and VB (6.0.4) yesterday and the problem has been
resolved.
