Description Morgan Leijström 2016-08-02 11:31:36 CEST 
Description of problem: waste of disk space and download bandwidth

virtualbox-doc only contain:
â/usr/share/doc/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf

The VirtualBox Manager GUI meny Help->Contents, as well as pressing F1, will launch that /usr/share/doc/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf.
(and if not found it pops up a question to download it, and then puts it successfully in  ~/.config/VirtualBox/UserManual.pdf and use that.)

The package virtualbox however contain an identical file in another location:
/usr/lib64/virtualbox/UserManual.pdf
As per above I think it is never used.
So i suggest to drop that pdf from the virtualbox package.
