Virtualbox-ext-oracle in Unstable

[jrichard326]

This morning pamac offered virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.36-1, so I built the package. Afterwards, Virtualbox launched, but I could not open any VM’s. Downgrade back to virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.134-1 worked as now all versions, Virtualbox, Virtualbox-guest-iso were back to version 6.134. I upgrade all to version 6.1.36 and all was working.
Please push updates Virtualbox and virtualbox-guest-iso and any others to version 6.136 in Unstable branch?

Thanks

Virtualbox

The 6.1.36 was literally pushed to Arch Linux 3 hours ago. No more patience, or everything has to be instant?

virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.1.36

Is an AUR package, why is dictating the update routine?

I installed that update earlier and figured I’d wait until 6.1.36 made it’s way to unstable before starting virtualbox.

This is exactly why you should not automate rebuilding of custom packages.

Since AUR is maintained by Arch users for Arch users, updates in AUR and in Manjaro’s repositories are usually not synchronized:

• You may need to delay an AUR package update in order to comply with its dependencies from Manjaro’s repositories.
• You may need to manually start a rebuild of an AUR package after a dependency update from Manjaro’s repositories.

Always wait to update virtualbox-ext-oracle until the matching virtualbox version is available.

Virtualbox 6.1.36 is in unstable now
