Virtualbox 7.1.0 cannot install extension pack

Command I used:
sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace ~/Downloads/virtualbox/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.0.vbox-extpack

Result:

0%…NS_ERROR_FAILURE
VBoxManage: error: Failed to install “/home/username/Downloads/virtualbox/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.0.vbox-extpack”

Welcome to the Forums!
VBox 7.1 has just appeared in the openSUSE repos and there might be still some kinks to straighten out, please see this thread.
Anyway thanks for reporting your finding, maybe consider submitting a bug report to bugzilla.opensuse.org if no suggestion shows up here.

https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1231225

OK, so thanks again to @zzq1015 for alerting the wider Forum audience (just locked VirtualBox on my system before dup-ing to 20240930).

I just did

zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/Virtualization.repo
zypper refresh
zypper install virtualbox

And executed:

sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace ~/Downloads/virtualbox/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.1.0.vbox-extpack

again, now it works. No errors, extension pack installed correctly.

I think they have just patched the bug for the OpenSUSE repo.

Looks like a patched VBox just reached the standard OSS repo
New Tumbleweed snapshot 20241002 released!
