Ran across the following error when attempting to update VirtualBox Guest Additions on an Ubuntu 12.04 guest (Windows 8 host) from version 4.2.12 to 4.2.16:
Installing graphics libraries and desktop services components ...fail!
The installer fails to remove the following two symlinks. If you execute the following commands (as root) and then run the installer again it should succeed.
rm /usr/lib/VBoxGuestAdditions rm /usr/share/VBoxGuestAdditions
