To workaround the dependency check blocker when updating with a AUR helper, I successfully get this working: before updating, go to the PKGBUILD's dir and update this single package with
makepkg -di
This will first ignore the deps, but then actually install the required virtualbox version together as well. Then, upgrade all packages as usual
paru
# or
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup fixed kernel modules error for Win10 after reinstalling packages
can't install in 7.1?
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)

(1/1) reinstalling virtualbox-ext-oracle [----------------------------------------] 100%

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.

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