            Bug ID: 231270
           Summary: Incorrect Errata item for virtualbox-ose issue
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: rkoberman@gmail.com

The Errata item dated [2018-06-26] is incorret.
"An issue had been discovered late in the release cycle where a system crash
could occur after installing emulators/virtualbox-ose from upstream package
mirrors via pkg(8).

"Building emulators/virtualbox-ose from the ports(7) collection has been
observed to work around the crash."

The problem is with emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod, not emulators/virtualbox=
-ose
and only emulators/virtualbox-ose needs to be built from ports and only unt=
il
11.1 reaches EOL at the end of September.

I suggest:
"An issue had been discovered late in the release cycle where a system crash
could occur after installing emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod from upstream
package mirrors via pkg(8).

"Building emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod from the ports(7) collection has be=
en
observed to work around the crash.

"After the first package build after October 1, 2018, this will cease being=
 a
problem as hte paskage or FreeBSD-11 will be built on 11.2"
