Hi,
I followed the Arch Build Service guide at the ArchWiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System) creating a local directory for community/virtualbox by running (as root):
abs community/virtualbox
this went without issue and created a folder in /var/abs/community/virtualbox with PKGBUILDs, and assorted other files that should be there. Then I ran
abs community/virtualbox-guest-utils
but this created no new folder at /var/abs/community/virtualbox-guest-utils and instead returned the output:
==> Starting ABS sync...
receiving file list ... done
cannot delete non-empty directory: community
sent 104 bytes received 107 bytes 38.36 bytes/sec
total size is 0 speedup is 0.00
I tried deleting /var/abs/community with
rm -r /var/abs/community
and re-ran
abs community/virtualbox-guest-utils
and still no new folder was generated at /var/abs/community/virtualbox-guest-utils.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton

You missed a step (2): https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … to_use_ABS

No, step 2 isn't necessary, you can sync just the packages you want. But there is no PKGBUILD for virtualbox-guest-utils: virtualbox is a split package, the one PKGBUILD builds various packages.
