Installed -current and -common and opened it OK but can't launch any VMs. Added myself to vboxusers group and rebooted as well.
Error: http://au.justin.id.au/screenshots/20171024-135434.png
There is no /dev/vboxdrv on my system so something is still missing.

Thanks for this valuable feedback. I think I know what the problem is. ?
If you run VirtualBox from a terminal, you have the following error, right?
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.13.9-29.current) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.So you can load the module with sudo modprobe vboxdrv I just have to figure out how to do this. I think I have to put a conf file in /usr/lib64/modules-load.d.

This is still a work in progress but now the vboxdrv kernel module should be automatically loaded so it should be possible to start the VM

I think this version should be fine. All feedbacks welcome!

OK AWESOME!
This is now working. I had to run sudo modprobe vboxdrv, tested but got another error about networking so ran sudo modprobe vboxnetflt and it works! I tested a VM I already had from my existing VirtualBox .run install (this was installed prior to testing). Audio worked fine on youtube in firefox too.
There are a few other vbox* modules: vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci vboxvideo so they might need to be enabled too, not sure.

Another check just done and the guest ISO will automatically download when you try to insert it.

Use acpica-unix instead of iasl name as the dependency is already available in the repository with this name.

Did you try with the latest version ?
Compared to the initial version, I have added vboxdrv.service that should automatically load the required kernel modules, so if you have to load them manually it means this doesn't work as expected.
What is the output of sudo /usr/lib64/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh status ?
