@dbermond here you have, the command pamac info virtualbox-bin-guest-iso returns among other what's below. The packager information is missing. Upgrading this package brings no effect, I upgraded it 5 times already, and it keeps showing as the older 7.1.0-1.

@mikaelblomkvists sorry, but I could not understand anything that you mean. Patching the package too much? My name is not at metadata? Pacman does not warn about updates for AUR packages, so it looks like you are using something unsupported, like an AUR helper or a distribution other than Arch Linux.
When you patch too much, so that you patch own version identifier, then you hacked a package manager.
This package claims its version is 7.1.2-1 but in fact the version that gets installed is 7.1.0-1. I updated it 4 times already, but the package manager still claims there is an update for this package available.
@dbermond your name is not present the package metadata btw.
@sf1nk5 @whmblr I could reproduce your issue, and the segmentation fault you were getting should be fixed now after the last update.
@sf1nk5 Good that it worked. So, definitively you have something interfering in your system. I do not know what.
Thanks. I`am build the package in a clean chroot and it is work after. Just do pkgctl build in cloned repo.
@sf1nk5 No. I cannot reproduce your issue and I have no idea why you are getting a segfault during makepkg. The package is building fine. You can try to build the package in a clean chroot and it should work.
Any news about problem with compiling virtualbox-bin-sdk?
Thanks, but the error is the same.
I get the same error as @sf1nk5 using either makepkg or pikaur help.

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.
