Description of problem:
in the virtualbox-6.1.18-2.mga8.x86_64.rpm package, the file /usr/lib64/virtualbox/components/VBoxREM.so is a link to VBoxREM.so, but VBoxREM.so - doesn't exist

when executing the VBoxHeadless-s VM_Name command,
I get an error:
# VBoxHeadless -s VMS_Name

VBoxHeadless: supR3HardenedVerifyFileFollowSymlinks: Failed to resolve the real path '/usr/lib64/virtualbox/components/VBoxREM.so': No such file or directory (2)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

You can simply:

rm -f /usr/lib64/virtualbox/components/VBoxREM.so

VboxREM is gone by default in 6.1, but vbox install scripts installs the symlink anyway.

I will fix it up in next virtualbox build

Hi, Thomas!

Until the moment of fix, I used the installation script from the site virtualbox.org:
https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.18/VirtualBox-6.1.18-142142-Linux_amd64.run
