VirtualBox GuestAdditions Always Update - vagrant-vbguest Plugin Issue?

[Tennis Smith]

Hi,

On every guest I bring up, the guest additions are updated.  But it looks like the version being installed is already be there (below).  Anyone else seeing this?

GuestAdditions versions on your host (4.3.20) and guest (4.3.14) do not match.

Hello,

Seems that output coming from the virtualbox installer. if there is a bug, seems is a vbox addition one.

this tells your guest was on a version 4.3.14, and will be updated to 4.3.20

Installing Virtualbox Guest Additions 4.3.20 - guest version is 4.3.14

and this is the line that have a weird version:
