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 Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 6.1.18_Mageia (C) 2008-2021 Oracle Corporation All rights reserved. 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): virtualbox-6.1.18-2.mga8.x86_64
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

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 PS Sorry for my English, the translation is made by the automatic translator
