    From this post:

    https://kb.parallels.com/120327

    I am supposed to use the latest Fedora OS for use with Parallel toolbox Version 17.1.6 (51584) which I have:
    Fedora 38, kernel 6.2.11-300.f38.x86_64

    Yet Toolbox fails...here is the log attached

    my guess is the author of this code was careless and failed to remove 'rc' which is causing the issue.
