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

@cmonkey Run this one-liner as a normal user: SNAPSHOT=aur-25068a121717;cd /tmp;curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/${SNAPSHOT}.tar.gz;tar xf ${SNAPSHOT}.tar.gz; cd ${SNAPSHOT};makepkg -is PKGBUILD and remember to deselect this package when updating aur packages until virtualbox 7+ is in the repos.

How to downgrade?

Why was this updated? The "official" virtualbox package hasn't been updated to 7.0 yet. Are you sure it is ok? It displayed some errors after installation.

I would think that running virtualbox 6.1 with the 7.0 extension pack would be a bad idea. Not sure why it was updated here when virtualbox hasn't been updated. Just stick with the version that matches your virtualbox installation.

I get same error as shoryuken when I updated today and whenever I try to manually reinstall.

7.0.0 seems to install but there are post-install errors for me:

Actually VirtualBox 7.0.0 is out since October 10, 2022... https://www.virtualbox.org/

Oh yeah that's confusing, but also logical!: So I installed this on my Manjaro system (since I decided to migrate VirtualBox and all my VMs that have on it away from Windows - to make room for other hypervisors there as well), but as many know, Manjaro keeps a bit older versions of packages compared to vanilla Arch (which I am a lot more used to).

So Now I see how XHCI, etc. could not be working and things crash. Hmm good reasons to start always preserving "built" packages here as well (actually there's not so much to build on this propriatary binary thing).

Luckily simply modifying the version number in the above direct download link from the virtualbox download site simply still gives you the older download that you need.

Note that simply double clicking the file does not work. VirtualBox asks you for permissions but fails with a wrong message that your password is wrong. I really had to explicitly run a sudo VirtualBox command with the package file path as it's parameter.
