grep vboxusers /etc/group:
vboxusers:x:462:walter:

Any suggestion to fix this appreciated.

Please fix the syntax error in your /etc/group for the vboxusers entry. This syntax error is not coming from our tools.
Comment 2 Michael Andres 2024-03-09 08:35:27 UTC 
@Walter GROUP(5) says "group_name:password:GID:user_list", so no trailing ':'.

Thanks a lot. I apologize for missing this, as it is so obvious ;-(
