I have attempted to upgrade Oracle X86-64 EL7 VirtualBox to current 
production (please see below).  It appears that 
libdevmapper.so.1.02(DM_1_02_97)(64bit) is required, presumably instead 
of device-mapper-libs x86_64   7:1.02.93 , device-mapper-libs         
x86_64   7:1.02.97 .   Any suggestions or is this fixed in the next 
minor release of SL 7 (that is, the current production release of RHEL 7)?
