I'm getting this error when running VirtualBox's installation script:
$ sudo ~/Downloads/VirtualBox-4.1.14-77440-Linux_x86.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Before upgrading to 3.X I didn't have this problem, the script would install VB correctly. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks in advance!
