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

$ wget -qO- 'http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.10/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.10.vbox-extpack'|md5sum 25b70fa71d9320e2836b9be138457ee0 - Good from my home. Bad from my office. There is probably a replication issue between Oracle mirrors. I already see that in the past. The md5sum is correct. @djhaines: Right, it doesn't require it to build. But the virtualbox deps pull virtualbox-host-modules, which pull linux kernel. Putting this makedeps deps avoid a kernel to be fetched when I build the binary package in a chroot.

I'm pretty sure that this shouldn't require virtualbox-host-dkms to build. I note that the PKGBUILD states "use virtualbox-host-dkms dep to avoid to pull linux kernel in chroot", but that (A) doesn't make a lot of sense and (B) doesn't seem to be true, as I've commented out the makedepends and it still seems to work without any issues.

The md5sum on the VirtualBox website/in the PKGBUILD *is* correct, but it's for Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.10-93012.vbox-extpack (i.e. the last minute update) and not the Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.10.vbox-extpack version pulled down by the PKGBUILD.

Thanks MonkeyWrench32, your md5sum does work properly for installing the 4.3.10 extensions. I'm not sure why Virtualbox's website has posted the wrong md5sum...

Got the same error like MonkeyWrench32. Changing the md5sum worked for me too

md5sum failed. Here is the correct one: ec0a3d2f9ea4a6f7041586bd21520a6a

You really should read the PKGBUILD file before makepkg it, AUR is wild place.
