There is no version dependency on this package on purpose! You could read comments back from 2011 to understand why.

MartinX3 not necessary al all, but could help someone in troubles...

Bad workaround for an easy to fix problem in the PKGBUILD by the author of the package.

It should just work by updating the packages with an AUR helper like paru

In any case you can install the package without dependencies running makepkg -nodeps, remove the latest version of this package that you have installed running pacman -Rns and then overwriting with makepkg -f

Please remove the version dependency.
I need to manually remove this package on each package update.

With the latest update virtualbox7.0.8-1 and virtualbox-ext-oracle 7.0.8-1 all works fine.

could we please remove the version dependency like the pinned comment suggests? Right now it breaks on updates to virtualbox. I had to remove this extension and install it after updating virtualbox itself.

:: installing virtualbox (7.0.8-1) breaks dependency 'virtualbox=7.0.6' required by virtualbox-ext-oracle

Could we drop pkgver here: depends=("virtualbox=${pkgver}")

Hi, slightly different error here with 7.0.6-3 ; removing and reinstalling both virtualbox and virtualbox-ext-oracle doesn't help :


(1/1) installing virtualbox-ext-oracle
VBoxManage: error: Manifest mismatch: 'linux.amd64/VBoxEhciR0.r0' not found in the 2nd manifest
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005), component ExtPackFileWrap, interface IExtPackFile, callee nsISupports
VBoxManage: error: Context: "Install(fReplace, __null, ptrProgress.asOutParam())" at line 1910 of file VBoxManageMisc.cpp
error: command failed to execute correctly

any ideas ?

@MartinX3 as pointed in previous comment, just uninstall / reinstall

yay --remove virtualbox-ext-oracle

yay -S virtualbox-ext-oracle

Sadly with the new update I get
