Virtualbox 4.0.0 was not automatically updated by packer

Dear all,

I've been running virtualbox 4.0.0 since is has been included in the community repository. I noticed today that even though 4.0.2 is out, 4.0.0 has not been automatically upgraded. I managed to install it by running "pacman -S virtualbox", and it goes smoothly.

I wonder if there might be other packages that are installed and, for whatever reasons, out of sync of the repos. How can this be ?

Cheers,

Aurel.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Virtualbox 4.0.0 was not automatically updated by packer

I think, the issue is:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: virtualbox-ext-oracle: requires virtualbox=4.0.0

I'm not sure what is the best way to upgrade virtualbox. Uninstall extension, upgrade VB, install new version of extension again a little bit... well, you know.

Re: Virtualbox 4.0.0 was not automatically updated by packer

Unfortunately, I don't think that the problem I report is linked to virtualbox-ext-oracle, since this package was not installed (hence cannot prevent 4.0.0 to be upgraded).

Any idea ?

Are you sure that the package virtualbox-ext-oracle is not installed on your system? From this discussion

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44761

there seem to be a lot of problems with this particular package. I have virtualbox without that package installed and have no problems with upgrading virtualbox.

Re: Virtualbox 4.0.0 was not automatically updated by packer

Sorry, but how is this possible? Pacman doesn't just make things up.

In this case I'd suggest you run pacman -Rcns virtualbox and after that install it again. Then you have the new version.
