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

rdesktop is woefully out of date. I would add remmina as an optional dependency and perhaps drop rdesktop altogether. There's also gnome-rdp, although I haven't tried it and don't know what state it's in.

I found the difference. Apparently having TAR_OPTIONS="--xattrs" in the environment causes tar to use a format different from the default.

Well, as workaround just use the "Download snapshot", extract in /tmp/vbep open the PKGBUILD and change to "pkgver=5.0.24" and "md5sums=('f576d8521e6315b507ae7daab495c1e6')" respectively. Keep only PKGBUILD and virtualbox-ext-oracle.install files. Delete all the other inside /tmp/vbep run: makepkg and then: sudo pacman -U virtualbox-ext-oracle-5.0.24-1-any.pkg.tar Done.

Why this package in your repository (http://seblu.net/a/$repo/$arch) is outdated? $ pacman -Sl seblu | grep virtualbox seblu virtualbox-ext-oracle 5.0.20-1

I appreciate your comment but it works perfectly for me since years.

grawity commented on 2016-06-14 05:32 (UTC)

I appreciate the attempts to "shrink" the extpack file, but VirtualBox isn't actually able to import it after the repacking. (In fact I don't think it has worked in the last *year* or so.) The install process always fails with: VBoxManage: error: RTVfsFsStrmNext failed: VERR_TAR_UNSUPPORTED_PAX_TYPE It seems that VirtualBox only understands --format=gnu and --format=ustar, *not* the default 'pax' format. (The original file uses GNU tar format.)

@seblu. I am the current maintainer of virtualbox-bin in AUR. As virtualbox-bin and virtualbox-ext-oracle are related (a newer version of virtualbox-bin without an updated virtualbox-ext-oracle will not work), may I suggest making eachother co-maintainer?
