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

It crashes the same way when I remove this package. Now webcam is expected to run at USB High-Speed. I noticed that when I install the virtualbox-ext-oracle I do see it under Extension but I no longer see EHCI settings under USB. Is this normal? How do I check that ext-oracle is fully working? BTW, I run 2.6.37 from [Testing]

VirtualBox crash if you remove this package?

Don't know if my bug is related to this package but VirtualBox crashes badly when connecting USB webcams. See my report on Oracle bug tracker: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8184

@seblu: Thanks. But, please, follow the stable virtualbox in [community], not in [community-testing], if it goes there first. @Musikolo: pacman -Syu does the job without the need of a versioned dependency in an AUR package.

@seblu: I don't know whether it will help to find a hybrid solution, but wouldn't be enough by doing this? depends=("virtualbox" >= 4) Please, let me know if I'm wrong, but with this, the problem of upgrading with pacman -Syu should be fix and, also, pleople having virtualbox-3.x will be force to upgrade to 4.x. Best regards!

@cyberpatrol, lrm: you're right. i will fix.

I'm with cyberpatrol. The versioned dependency just causes trouble and doesn't save anyone from anything. If someone updates their aur without doing pacman -Syu first then they deserve what they get, IMO :).
