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

In addition to the post_install() function, the post_remove() function needs to be updated as well with the new name 'Oracle VirtualBox Extension Pack' instead of 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack'.

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for maintaining this. The actual extpack file was renamed, I can see you adjusted the PKGBUILD for that:

-    "$pkgdir/usr/share/virtualbox/extensions/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-${pkgver}.vbox-extpack"
+    "$pkgdir/usr/share/virtualbox/extensions/Oracle_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-${pkgver}.vbox-extpack"

But the post_install() function in the file virtualbox-ext-oracle.install still uses the old name. I think it should be updated there as well.

Thanks!

@fenugrec, I'd try removing both packages. Then, install virtualbox alone. When finished, install virtualbox-ext-oracle. Make sure both are at latest before installing.

I hope it helps!

Hi, usually when I have problems it's usually something I did wrong and can figure out, or something already explained in the comments. This one has me stumped :

(trying to install 7.0.20; virtualbox-bin 7.0.20 already installed)

Done. But itsn't THE solution. Thanks for the piece of advice.

@karhu: Remove virtualbox-ext-oracle 7.0.14-1 first. Then update virtualbox to 7.0.16-1. Then install virtualbox-ext-oracle 7.0.16-1

Hi When I try to update virtualbox, I got this error : erreur : la préparation de la transaction a échoué (la satisfaction des dépendances a échoué) :: l’installation de virtualbox (7.0.16-1) casse la dépendance « virtualbox=7.0.14 » requise par virtualbox-ext-oracle It's because in the pkgbuild : depends=("virtualbox=${pkgver}") I try to change the "=" with "<=" or ">=" but it doesn't work. Could you change it please, thanks.

Is it possible to set virtualbox-kvm as a dependency in alternative to virtualbox?

Please see MartinX3's comment and update the PKGBUILD or the issue will occur every time virtualbox's version is than the virtualbox-ext-oracle package.

This package causes an upgrade error each time.

:: Installation von virtualbox (7.0.10-1) verletzt Abhängigkeit »virtualbox=7.0.8«, benötigt von virtualbox-ext-oracle

Please change the PKGBUILD from depends=("virtualbox=${pkgver}") to depends=("virtualbox>=${pkgver}")
