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

The sha256 in the PKGBUILD appears to be for the wrong package. Referenced here: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/7.0.6/SHA256SUMS

Thanks @nelg. I was stuck with my system update with errors and found your comment here. I tried running it and the last command to install this package again, yay virtualbox-ext-oracle, is failing with:

For those needing a quick fix:

Uninstall virtualbox-ext-oracle, upgrade virtualbox, install virtualbox-ext-oracle

yay -R virtualbox-ext-oracle
yay virtualbox
yay virtualbox-ext-oracle

Commit https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=virtualbox-ext-oracle&id=8009c93e77a8a8317574ef42f5167a9d0a8fbb85

appears to be where the version pinning has occurred. This has broken my system updates as well.

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

ranger commented on 2023-01-18 17:15 (UTC)

@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

Scimmia commented on 2023-01-18 16:48 (UTC)

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
