Description
Hello ! I tried installing VM VirtualBox on my Mac, and I get this error. I got the same error when installing another software earlier today... no sure if its mac related or software related so to say... I have attached the installation log. The part that seems to fail is "An error occurred while running scripts from the package “VirtualBox.pkg"
Thanks for any help you can provide !

You have permissions problem w/ your /etc/sudoers file. Permissions should be like that:
-r--r----- 1 root wheel 1275 Sep 10 03:13 /etc/sudoers
Use Disk Utility app to fix permissions. This issue is not related to VBox, this is general issue in your local setup.
Feb 20 10:20:46 Blaise-Joubert.local installd[849]: ./postflight: sudo: /etc/sudoers is world writable Feb 20 10:20:46 Blaise-Joubert.local installd[849]: ./postflight: sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting


This is the installation log
