Rocky9 rebuild VboxGuestAdditions at every reboot

[teluq-pbrideau]

I’ve discovered this bug while creating a vagrant box with nfs share:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provider 'virtualbox'
  config.vm.box = "roboxes/rocky9"
  config.vm.network "private_network", type: "dhcp"
  config.vm.synced_folder '.', '/vagrant', type: "nfs", nfs_udp: false
end

There is a long delay when creating the box, and it finally crash with the error:

No guest IP was given to the Vagrant core NFS helper. This is an
internal error that should be reported as a bug.

When running with --debug, i’ve discovered the command that run is /usr/bin/VBoxManage guestproperty get {ID} /VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/1/V4/IP, that return No value set! until the VboxGuestAdditions is recompiled every reboot.

While booting, ps aux display a lot of stuff that VBoxGuestAdditions is compiling, and it take about 45 seconds on my hardware.

Running /bin/sh /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-6.1.40/init/vboxadd status once the guest additions are recompiled guide for the error, there is missing libraries. Installing manually these libraries solve the entire problem. No more recompiling at boot, no more delay, no more crash when booting a rocky9 box.
