Why virtualbox-guest-dkms conflicts with virtualbox-guest-modules?
When I install virtualbox-guest-dkms 5.0.14-4 in community-testing repository, it shows that virtualbox-guest-dkms conflicts with virtualbox-guest-modules. I pressed Y, virtualbox-guest-modules was uninstalled, but virtualbox-guest-dkms did no install vboxguest.ko.gz, vboxsf.ko.gz and vboxvideo.ko.gz.

Are you on pacman 5+? Do you have the headers installed for you chosen kernel?

Re: Why virtualbox-guest-dkms conflicts with virtualbox-guest-modules?
virtualbox-guest-dkms requires you to build modules on a per-kernel basis, unlike the pre-built modules in virtualbox-guest-modules. They should auto re-build with the implementation of pacman hooks, but you can build them manually using dkms.
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

Thanks, I didn't know virtualbox-guest-dkms depends linux-headers, and I didn't see any errors. It's OK now.
