ERROR_SUCCESS when importing OVA => Fixed in SVN

Description
When importing a certain OVA file into VirtualBox
- the software reports: ERROR_SUCCESS
- the disk image is not extracted/created
- the virtual machine definition is not created
This is reproducible with this image: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ns3n47gewrbnhzy/Piratenverwaltung%200.9.3.ova
It has been discussed in the forum here: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=59858
The file CAN be untared and the resulting VDMK image CAN be used - so it is not a case of data corruption.
The assumption is that the EXPORT procedure stores the image size in a 32 bit field as UNSINGED INT and that the IMPORT procedure interprets this as a SIGNED INT - the size of the image being 2,345,184,768 bytes.
-> check/fix import bug (alternatively export procedure) -> fix error message - ERROR_SUCCESS is really strange...
Ticket 12345 seems to be unrelated to me. All other open OVF tickets seem to be unrelated to me.
Thanks Wolf

Actually the problem is that the "VBox OS Type" in that appliance is set to "Mageia" which isn't a valid VBox OS type. The next VBox maintenance release will provide the correct error message in that case.
To be able to import this appliance, use a hex editor and replace 'Mageia' by 'Linux'.
