I am looking for an official trouble or bug ticket number to follow regarding the issue with mintupdate and virtualbox-guest* packages.
I use a mint virtualbox instance all the time and find not being able to cut, copy and paste with the host OS ( OS X ) rather frustrating.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could provide details on what the actual issue is.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: virtualbox-guest* and mintupdate
You can install the guest additions through VirtualBox the recommended way (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idm2099). In the guest virtual machine choose Devices -> Install Guest Additions from the menubar. Assuming you have installed the VirtualBox Guest Additions ISO on the host OS.
