[SOLVED] VirtualBox borked after 2.2 update

Updated Virtualbox to version 2.2 today (from archlinuxfr repos).

There were a few warnings during installation:

[2009-04-09 09:06] warning: directory permissions differ on opt/virtualbox/src/
filesystem: 775  package: 755

Now it won't start at all, and a downgrade back to 2.1.4-2 won't work either, due to config errors.  Anyone have an idea how I might go about fixing this?

Re: [SOLVED] VirtualBox borked after 2.2 update

Thanks for the suggestion.  It didn't work, but it started me down the correct path to fix this.  I ended up fixing it by using

chmod -R 755 /opt/virtualbox/src/
