Per bug Bug 18962, I install Oracle extension pack manually:

Went to
  http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.26
And fetched
  Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.26.vbox-extpack 
And then
  $ sudo VBoxManage extpack install --replace that-extension-pack

Booted my virtual MSW7 64 bit guest.
In VirtualBox Drives dropdown menu of that guest window, I choose to insert guest extension pack, Fetch from internet, and it did.  Rebooted guest.

Then performed same tests as I use to:
  Dynamically resizing guest window by mouse
  Shared clipboard, bidirectional
  Shared folders bidirectional copying
  Drag a file from host Dolphin to guest Explorer
  USB2: flash stick and Brother label printer
  Sound, Internet, performance: playing video in Firefox while host is heavily loaded.

i5-2500, Intel graphics, 64-bit Plasma host.

No installation issues. Ran Windows XP and Windows 7 guests, and updated guest additions. Ran two Mga8-64 guests, updated guest additions. All look OK, access to shared folders OK.

I did not try to create a new guest (it's almost my bedtime), but all tests I've done so far look OK.
