Notice:

To avoid crashes when upgrading Guest Additions from version 6.x to 7.x on Windows guests, uninstall the old Guest Additions first, then reboot, and then install the new ones. It's recommended to do all these operations in Safe Mode. See this upstream bug ticket for more details.

While I agree that if an AUR helper should fail, the user has to try to build it without a helper, before adding a comment, we shouldn't spread myths regarding yaourt. A lot of users are satisfied by yaourt, there are not many use cases when yaourt could fail. Actually, I build 5.2.22-1 using yaourt 1.9-1 without any issue at all. IIUC the OP was able to build and install virtualbox. If the OP wants to learn what was going wrong regarding the permissions, I recommend to repeat everything and post the used commands and their complete output to an Arch forum, assuming googling shouldn't already enlighten the OP.

I'd recommend not to use yaourt in the first place. It's proven to be unsafe, is deprecated and no longer actively maintained.

If u really must use an AUR helper, I'd suggest taking a look at the Arch Wiki page before choosing one.

Even better would probably be to simply use Arch's default tooling, i.e. makepkg, or but maybe that's more of a personal preference.

I have installed virtualbox-bin 5.22 but at the end of install. I have this error /usr/lib/yaourt/aur.sh: line 211: cd: /root: Permission denied

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks,

Yep, SDK is now included in the package.

Yikes, whatever changes were made to accommodate the SDK or in the 5.2.20 release has ballooned the package size by 31.74 MiB. Is that expected? I haven't seen that big of a jump in vbox package size in years.

@Kr1ss Thank you for reporting this. Fixed.

Kr1ss commented on 2018-10-12 13:08 (UTC) (edited on 2018-10-12 23:48 (UTC) by Kr1ss)

There seems to be a conflict w/ the virtualbox-sdk package from community @dbermond (b/c of usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/vboxapi*).

Would u pls consider adding that to the PKGBUILD ?

Thx a lot for the package, btw !

EDIT : Thank you for fixing this so quickly !

dbermond commented on 2018-07-24 23:59 (UTC)

@GeneArch Please do not report problems when using a modified PKGBUILD.

I don't know if this will be a problem in future upstream stable releases.

GeneArch commented on 2018-07-24 13:11 (UTC)

with the older 5.2.16 everything works fine.

So its the development snapshots this is happening with. Do you know if this will be a problem when those migrate to released builds?

thanks

GeneArch commented on 2018-07-24 13:00 (UTC)

Sorry, this happens with the development snapshots:

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

pkgver=5.2.97 _build=123594

which i built by obvious tweaks to your PKGBUILD.

I need to go back and test 5.2.16.
