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

Except that doesn't work for already installed packages, ranger, which is why this is an issue.

@Nocifer,

instead of editing a file in pacman database, which is NEVER recommended, you should just edit the dependencies line in the PKGBUILD. And this way you don't have to uninstall anything

Most people can even skip #3. It's no longer require for USB3.

To all with problems with the last update of virtualbox:

  1. Delete virtualbox-ext-oracle
  2. Update the system as always: pacman -Syu
  3. Reinstall virtualbox-ext-oracle

That's all

Nocifer commented on 2023-01-18 16:38 (UTC)

I suggest changing depends=("virtualbox=${pkgver}") to depends=("virtualbox>=${pkgver}"), otherwise this package messes up the whole system's updating process.

For anyone who's trying to update, just edit /var/lib/pacman/local/virtualbox-ext-oracle-7.0.4-1/desc and change virtualbox=7.0.4 to virtualbox>=7.0.4 under %DEPENDS%.

If you don't want to uninstall virtualbox-ext-oracle to upgrade virtualbox, just edit the PKGBUILD and change the dependencies line to

depends = virtualbox

Is there any way to fix the dependencies in PKGBUILD, but now when you update VirtualBox, this error occurs:

installing virtualbox (7.0.6-1) breaks dependency 'virtualbox=7.0.4' required by virtualbox-ext-oracle

All the more, the version of Extention Pack does not necessarily have to match the version of VirtualBox, at least for current versions.

It seems @seblu pinned comment was ignored for some reason.

The version dependency that has recently been re-added means it is impossible to upgrade virtualbox to 7.0.6. The only way to get the upgrade to proceed is to uninstall virtualbox-ext-oracle first, then reinstall after the install of virtualbox has completed.

your change

  • depends = virtualbox
  • depends = virtualbox=7.0.4

break update of my system.

installing virtualbox (7.0.6-1) breaks the 'virtualbox=7.0.4' dependency required by the virtualbox-ext-oracle package.

are you sure? I really don't want to uninstall and new install virtualbox-ext-oracle after every update of virtualbox :/ (i use pikaur for update) Thanks!
