Message:

Additions/linux/installer: Use VBoxControl instead of VBoxClient to query the installed Guest Additions version. This otherwise will break pure server installations where X11 is not installed, as VBoxClient requires several X libs and thus fails there. This in turn will trigger module rebuilds on every boot. bugref:10359
