[SOLVED] Virtualbox 5.0.18 Nasty Bug - Package Manager please add fix

Edit: Virtualbox 5.0.20 came around nice and quickly.

Hi,

This is a really big long shot at reaching out to the guy who manages the Virtualbox package I know. There is a really nasty bug that affects anything that uses the 'LsiLogic' virtual SCSI controller. One famous case of this is the Ubuntu Xenial Vagrant box.

https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/15317

Fix: https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset/60565/vbox

Can this be patched to the Arch Linux Virtualbox package?

Thanks.. !

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

I don't think I can there as the package is in Community... although on the plus side, at least I have a bugs user account now

On the upper left, select the "Community Packages" project. That is the correct place to report things like this.
