Hi mikaelblomkvists, "pamac" is unsupported software, so you need to know how to use it. Btw. yaourt, yet another unsupported AUR helper, is outdated since years, but still gets the correct version.

$ yaourt -S virtualbox-bin
==> Downloading virtualbox-bin PKGBUILD from AUR...
x .SRCINFO
x 013-Makefile.patch

x PKGBUILD

x vboxreload
x vboxweb.service
x virtualbox.sysusers
virtualbox-bin 7.1.2-1 (Tue 18 Aug 11:16:55 CEST 2015)
[snip]
You are the packager set by the PACKAGER variable in /etc/makepkg.conf .
FWIW if building a package from AUR fails, then before writing a comment, you not only need to build without an AUR helper, you even must build in a clean chroot.

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.
