Updating your own package? Because nothing has been updated here, and you're not the maintainer.

updating the package version to 5.0.0, and adding the new md5sum of the file.
Here is the new md5sum, 3aa4a320f7bf64ddfa02e86e51eb5038

The PKGBUILD contains a misleading comment: "shrink uneeded cpuarch" should be "remove unneeded support for non-Linux OS".

@Glenster
I repeat: this package is not the guest additions, it is an extension pack package for the host and only for the host. Read the Description. It is needed by the host to provide usb support for the guest. You have to install this in your host-debian.
Anyway, if you have more questions we can help you at the forums.

yes, please ask for help on forums or mailing lists, not in AUR comments.

@ranger: Archlinux is the guest, and that's where I need to install the guest additions, because I get a message from the guest as follows when I check the box in its settings (before starting the guest) to enable USB 2.0:
"On the USB page, USB 2.0 is currently enabled for this virtual machine. However, this requires the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack to be installed. Please install the Extension Pack from the VirtualBox download site. After this you will be able to re-enable USB 2.0. It will be disabled in the meantime unless you cancel the current settings changes."
@ Musikolo: Thanks for clearing up my misunderstandings. I have now built and installed the AUR and it seemed to give no errors. I then went back to the wiki and went through the steps there (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Install_the_Guest_Additions). But at the end of it all I still get the error message above.
Any further ideas, anyone?

@Glenster, you have arch as guest in vbox right?
Then you don't need this package in archlinux, you have to install it in you host (Debian)

@Glenster
This is an AUR package. You have to build it yourself and then install it. More info at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
In addition, please, use "pacman -Syu" instead of "pacman -Syy" to get full update of your system.

Hello,
I'm a beginner with Archlinux. I have installed an Archlinux VM on Virtualbox running on Debian. The networking is working fine and I have run "pacman -Syy" and reinstalled pacman with "pacman -S pacman"
I located the package by searching on the term "virtualbox" at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/
However, when I run "pacman -S virtualbox-ext-oracle" in the VM I get this error:
"error: target not found: virtualbox-ext-oracle"
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

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