Build 2018.11.07 (x64)
Installed Virtualbox-ext-pack, and get an error. The problem is because /usr (and child directories) don't belong to root, but rather to the user. Chowning back to root fixes the issue.

Maybe that is caused because the user account is also a member of root?

    The cause for this was the Makulu Update scripts. They chowned some /etc and /usr folders to the current user. Those folder should stay with roo as owner. I have changed the scripts so that only the user's home folders are chowned to that user. The other Folders are set to root:root. This works as far as I can see. I have uploaded an iso (64bit, 32bit to follow), with the corrections.

    The scripts still do this in Build 2018.11.19

    They should be corrected in the attachment.
